I look across the room at my Les Paul (hear that sustain?) just waiting patiently, among the rest of the 'gear crew'. It feels like an infinite amount of work to get the plumbing done, just to get back to the business of making racket. I see the fan base shrinking and growing, making me all the more anxious to keep the "production" side healthy and vibrant. Each time someone leaves, it stings a little, as I were not moving at Light Speed enough. I guess I just wish everyone were like my Les Paul, with all that sustain...all that patience. This is an organic process, and is growing constantly...into what, I can only imagine. And that is the beauty of it! "Come with me and you'll be in a world of pure imagination"
