[Harp-L] Re: SJ1 output/Gary

[Ray Beltran <raybeltran@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks, Gary, in continuing to support the harmonica community long  
after your amp is out of production. You continue to set a standard  
in customized harmonica amp manufacturing and support that is second  
to none.

Anyone there to record this concert? If you've ever heard Gary play,  
you know what a treat it is.

There are many on this list that have come together to pray and  
support Gary in some difficult times. I'm just one of 'em.

God bless you, Gary. Wish I were there to hear this performance.  
Sounds like a blast! I'll have to tell you sometime how Mike and I  
busted through the mix one night at a jam where the guitarist was  
blastin' through a Super Reverb, mic'd. We blew through your SJ410  
and my secret weapon I keep on hand for occasions just like this, a  
pistol-grip 545 I nicknamed "Jawbone of an Ass." There were no  
survivors. We had volume and tone for days. Even the guitarist had to  
agree and succumb to that mighty sound! I will NOT be drowned out.

Ray.
