And Life Goes On,

[Blind Lemon]

I finally got the bad news I new was inevitable yesterday about 6:30.  My good friend and amp building mentor Rick Potter of Tulsa died of complications of ALS. He was a 60's child and had been playing guitar all his life. He originally started working on amps just like so many other musicians........he couldn't afford to pay someone else to fix it for him. He started fixing amps in the 70's and had gained a reputation as THE Man to go to around these parts. Being a starving musician in the past, he new what the young kids were going through trying to scrape up enough money to pay for repairs and custom work...........he never charged enough and often nothing at all. I will miss him dearly as will all that new him.

Say a prayer for him and his family.
