@boo Thanks to you. Your adviced worked out really well!

Posted by: @boo @tv101 and this one, including mistakes and resolutions. 👍 No such thing as “mistakes” Boo – just opportunities that you took to expand your knowledge and skills. 😉   Although the Haggis might have been a mistake.

Posted by: @boo I saw this and I immediately want to build one. One for the percussive and rhythm section, bass players etc, very cool. 😎🤘 It’s mad (so I understand why it’d appeal to you 😆 ) and creative…   Read more»
