machturtle Joined: Mar 15, 2008 Posts: 32 Pacific Palisades, CA	Posted on Aug 12 2008 09:58 AM IvanP It was also great to meet outsides, and see again Karen of MBP, TikiTena, Jamie Machturtle and Linda Miller despite not being able to talk to them very much, which was a bummer. What a bummer I didn't go down to the Pier for one more day of YOU my bro! It is always a thrill to see you and talk to you....all those years of history, you know....back in the Cowabunga days without all these newfangled message boards with all the pretty pitchurs "Jamie Machturtle" ~~~o/~~~ Top

I was there for the other gig in Hermosa at Sangria when you played with the Elims so, it's all good. I think every time I see you, I still thank you for playing A Surfer's Paradise, the concert for Don Murray back in 1996. All these years later, I am still so touched. And your verdict on the Mermen?

D22 Joined: Apr 20, 2006 Posts: 2054	Posted on Aug 15 2008 12:28 PM Eddie_Bertrand Dario my friend..I am so proud to know you and play through your Amps. Words could never tell how it feels when I hear the sound. It is for meno jokeA very spiritual feeling. You will never know how relaxed I feel when my sound is right. Thank you my friend for making that a reality. It is exactly like playing though my 62 Showman Amps Leo gave me.and the tank is to die for. Eddie, Thank you (and others who have commented) for the kind words on the amps and for your talent. `Eddie, IMO it takes a really talented player who knows what good guitar tone needs to sound like (from back in the Fender days) and I'm fortunate what I do with my amps delivers for you. I'm also very lucky to have a dependable friend like you who is always eager and willing to help me and the Gomez biz be successful. It's comforting to know you believe wholeheartedly in what I'm doing and your actions prove that without exception. Thanks brother....d` — Last edited: Aug 18, 2008 00:41:58 Top
