Hi Merlin, Recently I began giving 3DS-oriented seminars at a local college. Finally, I get to go to college!<g> It's interesting to me that you have gotten the idea that I might have been on some of your (old) records.<g> Actually, I never really got that far in terms of recorded accomplishments. If I had stayed in LA in the late sixties instead of moving to New England, I think I would have at least done some studio work other than radio commercials, jingles, etc. My R&R days were long, but I never gained any national fame & fortune. I played in club bands in the New England area from the early seventies to the later eighties. I gained a certain amount of local nortoriety, but never made the "big time". Probably just as well 'cause famous folks often give up a thing I value very much: one's personal privacy. So now I make my living with another creative vocation called 3D. It's not quite as exciting as playing rock guitar for a living, but it's got ALOT of great things going for it, especially all the fine folk I've met in the industry. I thank God I was able to find another "art-oriented", creative way to make a living. And I'll still play guitar anytime I get a chance. If I never make another nickle playing music it would be fine with me. Just gimme a couple of cold beers and dive blues/rock club, and I'm a happy guy.<g> -Alan
