BP you showed my wife and I what you were about in Dallas. I hope you and your's have enjoyed Crhistmas like me and mine has.

There just is no better class act in this world than the Ball family.

IMHO

I have seen it with my own eyes.

Thanks TK We had a great time...Especially for the Christmas Night Nintendo WII Bowling Tourney...Casey took the early lead with a fine 210...But Poppa rose to the challenge with a splendid 223...all whilst Dargin and Brian held up the rear.....

I love reading the personal grit, the heart and soul that makes a good company tick. Thanks, BP.

Hope this doesn’t sound too philosophical, but the hero’s journey always seems to involve members of his or her own family turning against them. Only a soul who is not believed is cast upon his deepest convictions, and only there can they become tested and genuine. That takes balls, not just luck. Maybe you’ve been blessed with both.

Respectfully,
Bruce

Candid...very interesting thought..hard to apply as I dont see myself as a hero but it has the potential to answer a few questions if I allow myself a little delusion...

BP, heroes aren’t afforded the luxury (ego trip) to perceive themselves as heroes. They’re too busy doing what they do. But your dad is a hero to you, even if he wasn’t unto himself, right?

The context of hero here is as in Joseph Campbell’s mythological sense. And, in that sense, there’s a potential hero in everyone. You know, the one who goes his or her own path, against the tides of convention, and sometimes against all odds.

From here, you fit the archetype well.

So, who would you want to play Sterling Ball in a movie?

Extra credit if you pick someone he's played golf with. :D

Bill Murry to play BP ;)
And Lusious? ... thats a hard one ... maybe Robin Williams ... he's harry enough :p

I also wanted to thank you BP for sharing. Lucky Sperm or not, you are one of the few "real" people left in this world.
You treat others as you would want to be treated.
Thank you for that!!

I'm coming into this one a little late - maybe I'm lucky for that...

Anyway, thanks for everything BP. I for one (and obviously most of us) appreciate the look inside the company and the people that we get from this forum. And the shots of the new basses are a nice plus too (a.k.a. torture). Cheers!

Thanks for the story BP. From day one on here I felt the sincerity from you and the rest of the people at EBMM. Good quality instruments at a good price. Sorry I ruffled a few feathers over the way you put you're pants on;) I opened my pie hole without knowing the whole story....Class act BP and I'm proud to own some of your fine basses.
