Re: [Harp-L] endorsements

Kim does play his Meteors Gary. Not on the road when flying but on occasion 
like most others are going to do.
Mark Hummel also uses his 2 Meteors all the time and plans to continue to 
use them. He made a deal with you
for the Cruncher which he say's he'll use on small gig's. Let's just be 
clear on these things.

As far as most players traveling with an amp, it aint gonna happen. Everyone 
I know who has to fly into a gig contracts
in advance what they want for the gig. A boutique amp isn't typically an 
option. Last Friday night Kim played here locally.
We hung out for the day and had a ball. That night he used the Meteor 
because it was available and sounded amazing.
HOWEVER......  Kim, Charlie, Mark, etc.....  will sound amazing playing 
through a shoe box.
