Amen Frostback, I remember seeing that thread title 9 years ago yesterday and thinking he seemed more complex than the caricature I’d read about in the mags(expected more Rand from him). Couldn’t believe it later that day when I heard.
Was thinking of another missing friend this morning. To all those who’ve lost loved ones, know that many others are out there thinking of and missing them as well, their impact was, and always will be real.

Was looking at his last post here Jul 5, 2009 - 01:12pm PT -- I suspect he was waiting for Dike Wall to go into the shade.

The old Camp 4 reunion campout/reunion/parties we use to have on the Eastside, one of them I picked a place to camp kinda away from the crowd. John invited me up to camp, after things calmed down I went back to crash. Jihn kinda followed me back and I think he kinda knew I was around in Josh when he was “learning” to “play”. It was horrendous in Hidden Valley listening to the “sexaphone”. Well that magical night, he set up close to my camp spot and played the most gorgeous, sexiest, smoothest saxaphone lines as I listened to a lonely moonlit night and fell asleep to my buddy playing for me his artistry!
Miss ya John

Well whatever ya'll did......WORKS! It is amazing how the bass strings and treble strings all seem to voice the "same". Volumne level and it seems resonance is the same across the board. Figure picking or with a a pick, incredible! Sustain......I only dream of that kinda of sustain. And it's a small body! Blanchard is a wizard with sound and art. I spend half my playing time just starring at the appointments...woods are gorgeous, abalone is almost irradescent, everything seems to flow into the next.
Peace

In keeping this "on topic", quite the compliment coming from you guys that I get it! I wish I could play to this guitars capability, but I think I get sound! Music is a truly magical and blessed thing to "get" and I think along with the human body...John and I shared, music. We liked many of the same artist, shared appreciation for different genres and appreciated musical diversity. I'm happy he played yer guitar Kath...I'll think and feel that when I play Wil.
Viva BachStar and Bachar!
Peace
