    First build thread 'Roberts JB4'

    Wow. I just looked at this and I have to agree with what everyone else here is saying. Your patience, planning, and attention to detail really show and are paying off in spades. Everything is absolutely beautiful. Love the "R" hole, by the way :D

    New sound guy - Good?

    Very good advice here, in my opinion. Especially if part of your concern is encouraging him to continue to offer his observations. You can listen to and consider advice without having to follow it. Ultimately you, as the musician, have the final say on what you play. That does not mean that...

    I'm not sure. Have we crossed the line into over-sharing here? ;)

    Are college bands more successful and easier to form than high school ones?

    My favorite child is growing! Spider content.

    Ya know... I'm not the smartest guy on the planet. I don't have the sense to be afraid of the meanest dog, a raging lion, snakes, llamas, Gary Busey (with his desire to remove someone's endocrine system and all), or even the psychojealouscrazyscary significant other regaled in another thread...
