Pretty cool Sidd. We used to play around with tape loops in the 70s. I've still got a recording somewhere of some stuff we did.

RIP the GREAT Jim Marshall creator of the Marshall amp. I got a chance to meet him and was a really cool bloke. Sorry to hear he has passed.

You met Jim Marshall? Wow! We are not worthy...we are not worthy...

[sidd finch]

Haha... He was a very kind and unassuming person. This was the year that Marshall came out with their 25th anniversary silver jubilee amps in 1987 and he was out promoting the amps. I got my picture taken with him and he signed a bunch of stuff I still have.

This is the blurb...
"To commemorate his 50 years in music and 25 years in the amplifier business, Jim Marshall introduced a limited edition collection of tube amps and cabinets in 1987. The amps, based on the 2203 and 2204 master volume designs, were known as the "25/50 Silver Jubilee" Series models. The products were distinctive, with their silver vinyl covering and chrome panels. They also featured a special commemorative plastic plate on each amp"

This isn't a music video but the 2012 baseball season is now underway so this seems appropriate...

April 18, 2012

Dick Clark, the music industry maverick, longtime TV host and powerhouse producer who changed the way we listened to pop music with "American Bandstand," and whose trademark "Rockin' Eve" became a fixture of New Year's celebrations, died today at the age of 82.

Clark's agent Paul Shefrin said in statement that the veteran host died this morning following a "massive heart attack."

A true icon. Godspeed Dick Clark.
