  1. I've been away from the forum and bass playing///////holding for a few years, and just popped in on a whim - this was the 1st thread I spotted I was wondering about Jeremy - I knew he was having trouble but it seems it caught up with him. So sad. My wife and I were in SF (from Australia) in late 2010 and Jeremy came over from where he lived to meet us and show us around a bit. Considering a) it was a day after the Giants won the World Series, b) and so the traffic on Bay Bridge was awful because of the big parade about to happen, and c) he was squeezing us in before an oncology appointment, we were humbled by his generosity of spirit. We were delighted to meet him - a lovely person.
  2. Caption: "Well you lads be careful crossing the road now."
  3. I think he left the building after the 3rd post in this thread.
  4. It's been about a week since I used MS Windows on my laptop. It's now running a Puppy Linux (Slacko 5.29.5) - with Google Chrome, Audacious (MP3 etc player), tuxguitar (PowerTab and GuitarPro player), AbiWord and Gnumeric it does just about everything I need from a PC. Very pleased with myself. The linux loads from a cd (or usb) but saves onto the HDD, boots in half the time of XP and sets itself up quite easily (for a linux).
  5. The Chromatic Walkups (or has that been taken already?)
  6. Pearl Block and the Bindings.
  7. Hybrid Head The Lightweights
  8. Canned Granyon Hoovered Amps
  9. How about pinching some book titles: Virtual Light - by William Gibson Thirteen Tonne Theory - by Mark Seymour (of the band Hunters and Collectors) Woken Furies - by Richard Morgan Broken Angels - ditto (to continue the Takeshi Kovacs theme)
  10. They wrote nice things about your orchestra in the last para - the one starting "Lastly ...". I'd be quietly pleased if I was in your place. Well done.
