Here's an odd thought for Electric Guitarists who want to understand microphones from a different perspective.

The Les Pauls and Stratocasters of the Microphone World

A little odd, not so funny, but I was glad to have read it.

Hi Alan,

You'll never know how much I needed this.

I'm sure I nearly split a stitch.

Birthday greetings from Joe Cocker, Woodstock, 1969. Priceless.

What an amazing era.

And to think, I was stuck playing Bass in a C & W band back then.

I was so naive, I remember asking someone, after hearing Jefferson Airplane's Lead Guitar, "Wow, how do you even think of playing like that"

Odd Thought: What ever happed to the Bose Sock? Fabric sleeve to "decorate" the L1 ?

I'm thinking if you want to sell more in Japan... you need a Pink "Hello Kitty" theme version...

Ok, now stop gagging out there... and think of something better!

moohaha.

Hi Michael,

Great choice for Wedding reception DJ set-up!

The article will probably need the specific search terms or product name -- I couldn't find them in a quick couple of simple search attempts on the site referenced by the article.

Hi Dan,

First line below the title.

"entsyscorp.com sells custom slip covers for the L1 Cylindrical Radiator® loudspeaker. "

I have some notes from audience members and venue owners that I have as yet to add to the article.

Sorry, I wasn't clear.

Once I got onto the entsyscorp site, I couldn't seem to hit on the right "search terms" to find the "custom slip covers".

The only thing "Bose" or "L1" found was a 90-degree cable pack. "Slip cover" found a few things, but not an L1-sleeve.

Hi Dan,

Yes, I recall now. I sent entsyscorp a note about this awhile back. I was going to follow up with them when I finished the article.

What must you all think of us?

Canadian Car Chase

Ha, that's funny. I'm not sure "what" it says. No doubt the more superficial the thinking, the better. Actually, it makes me really glad I got new tires on the truck this summer! You know, being the law-breaker that I am.

Thanks for sharing the link.

You don't want to know how I happened across this little list -- it comes from this on-line document: (edit: I found out the original is archived here as the 05 archive.)

UNCLE JIM'S MUSICAL RULES Pt. 1:

1. If you miss a note, bend it. If you can't bend it, play it again and they'll think you meant to do it. DO NOT frown and shake your head at your mistakes or anyone else's. It never happened.

2. Without duct tape, there would be no Rock And Roll.

3. If you see a great looking waitress or bartenderess with little make-up and long soft natural hair and a great bod who glides around quickly and all the guys are hitting on her, marry her. She will understand you. Waitresses are our peers. Gary had a waitress show up at his hotel room door with a spare bottle of champagne. He invited her in. She saw a bass leaning against the wall and said "Wow! A pre-CBS Precision!" They have a long happy marriage.

4. "You need to know two things to be a professional musician: how to fix things and how to do without." - Tommy Crook

5. You're not a real Rock & Roll band if you haven't played in a biker bar.

6. Always carry fuses, earplugs and a 50' extension cord. Unless you're a drummer - a square of carpet.

7. If you think you're a really hot guitar player, you need to go out to L.A. - I dare you. There are hundreds of guys better than you, playing in little joints for $25 a night.

8. "Original" does not automatically mean "good". Look it up.

9. Never ask to sit in. If you ask to sit in, you are instantly disqualified. Come back on jam night. We understand that you roadied for Skynyrd, like 3,000 other people, but that doesn't mean you can play. Someone asked Snooky "Can I play your Les Paul?" and he answered "Can I have sex with your date?" Of course he would ask that anyway, but you get the idea.

10. On the other hand, if you are asked to sit in you have to. If you are too drunk, then you can decline. If you are very drunk, you won't have the sense to decline. Which brings us to:

11. If you are going to make a complete and utter <fool> of yourself, do it in front of as many people as possible.

12. Never trust a keyboard player who stands up. This is just wrong. He should have a volume pedal, a sustain pedal and a Leslie switch and you can’t operate all those and stand up and play right.
===================================================

Oh, for all you "Mustang Sally" fans, there is a reference to it in the "next year's" associated document.

p.p.s: In case anyone reads the original document and is wondering, I am *not* the Dan Cornett mentioned.

Amen...very funny & pertinent stuff Dan.

Nothing to do with Bose, but this is absolutely the most amazing and moving wedding party entrance I've ever seen. Don't miss this:

JK Wedding Entrance Dance

I cannot even imagine how to respond to that...

Wow... Very different but very cool. Unforgettable.

I have to show that to Virginia.
She will love it.
Thanks Alan

Eternity vs. Relativity

A jazz musician is told by his doctor that the has six months to live.
"Is there anything I can do?" he asks.
"Yes there is the doctor replies. "You could take a job playing wedding receptions."
"How will that help my illness?" the musician asks.
"Oh it won't help your illness," says the doctor, "but it will make that six months seem like an eternity!"

Ain't that the truth!
