Hey CBGitty,

I'll bet you're wondering about all those parts you keep sending to York, PA.  This is where they went!!!

And at night, do they all suddenly come alive, and start building another one, a la The Sorcerer's Apprentice? That is an impressive lot of potential music!

They're ALL alive! 

Hired an apprentice for a short while.  Took my output level to 300%.  Building as many as I can while he's here...and while I can afford the parts/labor.  Looking toward Christmas right now.

lol how do you find the time to build all of these ? Shane ive seen all of your vids and i swear you practice 20 hours a day .

Doing this full-time now.  Livin' the dream.

I don't practice 20 hours...I've just been playing these things for 20 years.  It's the one instrument that I totally connect with.  It's part of me.

I couldn't believe I found the stamped steel screen used in the Confessionals.  So classic and cool.

That's an awesome lineup! I knew all of the stuff we were sending you was being put to good use...

Was anyone else disappointed when they read ''this is what my basement looks like now'' and this picture didn't appear?

:-D
