Double Bass To the Oberlin Gang...

[360guy]

The first 4 ( of 16) tapes have been transferred to my new computer. I enlisted the help of my son and soon after he is done, I'll start editing.

Like fine wine the footage is even better than I remembered when it was shot.

Hope everyone is well. I know quite a few have made it to the ISB. Wish I coulda made that happen but just too busy.

I'll get the DVDs done this summer.

Hey John,

Thanks for doing that! I know it's hard work. Been chomping at the bit this week because I'm not at ISB. Final Exams though...

If you need any help editing the tapes down you could mail some disks to me. I am "off" for the summer, so I can put in some time.

Best,
Brian

You know alot of us would love to see these! Hope I can make it one year!

 

[JoeyNaeger]

Can't wait to see them. I definitely didn't take thorough enough notes

 

[360guy]

Up to tape 11 now. The plan is to get a DVD package to Jay first and then have him consult and advise as far as content and distribution.

I want all participants to have a copy!

Wish we were gathering this year.

Always!!!!

[360guy]

It ain't bragging 'cause it's true! Your the man, James!

 

[james condino]

Lets not forget about Keiran- an A+ awesome guy to have on your side when you are in the thick of it!

 

[arnoldschnitzer]

You need more of the maple bushings Arnold?

Yes. If you could make them available to the repairing masses you would become a millionaire. Well, maybe a hundredaire...

 

[360guy]

I know I have a lot left. I'll do a count later and get with you then.

 

[james condino]

John- I could use a couple of them. Your private message feature is blocked here, so give me a call at the corporate headquarters.

Arnold, I've got 4 dozen. Ranging from 33.8 to 37.1 on the wide end. Send me an email. In the meantime I'll figure out how to set up my pm properly.

 

[360guy]

Update: tape 17 ( initially I didn't think there were that many!) is now done. Just one more to go. Then it's edit time.

 

[360guy]

I'm now labeling each individual tape sequence.
Topics include: Steve's neckblock fitting, Mathew's neck graph, Joey's C extension, Carbon fiber neck reinforcement, master class on wolf tones, Paul's wing rebuild, etc, etc.
Soon it will be done!
