Thursday night – hung over

I woke up this morning and I couldn’t figure out what I was feeling… And then it hit me I had drunk 2/3 of a bottle of good wine by myself at Part of the memorial Gathering at hosted last night on zoom for my friend Tom Williams…

It wasn’t that bad it actually felt kind a good to feel a little hung over because that’s how I always felt after hanging out with Tom 🙂

Hangover it was nothing that a couple of cups of coffee and a run couldn’t fix…

Had a busy day at work… Highlight of the day is that I got to host the “beta bytes of knowledge” Event for the week… It was my good friend Ryan over speaking on a really well told story about how he came to One one of the early text Driven echo machines… You may never have seen one of these but you certainly heard it if you’ve ever listen to Elvis, Led Zeppelin etc.… It’s an amazing device that uses multiple Tapeheads decree wonderful echoey Sound…

Ryan story it was really fun and touching… And that was that these devices came out in the 40s and 50s and were created by an inventor in Ohio and Mike battle… They were much sod after and we’re quite expensive. Ryan is it musician really wanted to get a hold of one of those.… But he couldn’t afford the few that were still in circulation. So he called up the inventor who is now quite old and was hoping to find perhaps an older unit gathering dust. He was in luck… Or so it seemed… Because battle had 1 inch model that he used for tuning his design. He agreed to sell it to ryan for a very good price… Ryan sent the money… And then waited… And waited… And waited… Months and months and months and it some point he realize he was not gonna get his money back… And he was probably never going to get his echoplex.… At the time Ryan was working at magic hat brewery… They had to habit of making bottle caps with insane… And when you came up with the work anniversary they would make a fun Saint just for you… But when Thousands of bottles Of beer to be sold… Ryan said “got your echoplex yet?”…… You can still find them he says

…He tried a couple of times call Mike battle… He finally reached the guy but he was so ill that he could talk…

A few weeks later he got a call from a family member to tell him that Mike battle passed away… But had this box that was addressed to Rhonni. Long story I know but he eventually got his beautiful device… Better still he brought it and played it it was so fun and other people from the audience got up and played it. Super great story

Later that evening we had a work session for fluffy the magic bus… By the time I got in there they managed to get all of the seats out of the bus. My biggest contribution so far I was buying pizza… It’s gonna be a big project but fun
