Fairlight-CMI

Glad to hear Andrew's OK, and doing well! I've often wondered what happened to him since the days he used to trek out to my studio in NJ and work his magic on my series III...

The debate on global warming (...err climate change, ...err whatever the latest marketing term is...) will have to wait for another day, since disasters and floods have been happening for tens of thousands of years, without any input from the inconsequential human race. ;-)

Although that doesn't lessen the impact of the disaster, and my heart goes out to all who are affected...
