To Sterling, Beth, Dudley, Scott, Brian, Casey, Kevin, Dan and everyone who manned the Ernie Ball Music Man booth last weekend: thank you.

Sterling, you have one amazing team. You're good, and you're also fortunate. especially when considering your gracious wife and your fabulous children. You took good care of us when you were not being overrun by those guys in suits and people wanting to videotape you. I owe you more than anyone here will ever know...but you know. I know. Thank you for everything, boss.

Beth, you spent so much time with us and we're not even technically international. I hope everything is okay with the cat! Thank you for everything, including the ridiculous tabs at the Hilton Bar. We all love you.

Dudley, it's always an honor to see you. I still think you should have done the photo with Bert and Ernie....but whether you did or didn't pose with the Muppets, you can be sure that we, the Forumites, appreciate what you've done for us. I hope you're coming to Dallas in November. Wanna play "Little Sister" again?

Scott! Dargin! Also a pleasure and an honor. Sterling has this Cult of Personality thing going, and it's impressive....but I do know that when he finally decides to retire (hah) and responsibility passes to you, we will be in good hands. Yeah, yeah, it's hard to replace Biff, but you are already making a difference and doing some truly impressive things. Don't think we don't know - we do. Thanks.

Brian, good to finally spend some time with you. I know how annoying we were, but you were entirely diplomatic and we do appreciate it. Casey - shave, would you? :D Seriously, good to see you again. You can't imagine how shocking it is to see you after less than a year and to realize what an adult you are already. (This stuff becomes really important when you're a father.)

The NAMM crew: was that fun or what? Okay, maybe not all the time, but after the lights went out? Right? After that?

Dan Norton, I'll never tell anyone where the secret stash is. I know you can't scuba dive but damned if you can't do just about everything else. It was so fine to see you again...and yes, we know how important you are to the company.

Stacey, we'll get you a REAL Texas hat in November.

To the family....and you know who you are, no matter what your last name is....thank you.

Who's with me?

Once upon a time I worked for a genuine article; he would say
"Ladies & Gentlemen,
We don't Make Style -

We ARE STYLE !"

EBMM Team,
As a customer, and forumite,
Thanks for your TOTAL STYLE !
[and what Jack said ;)

PL
 
Thank you, gentlemen and ladies, for making some of the nicest products in the business while also being some of the nicest people in the business at the same time. I'd love to meet you all and see what makes EB what it is.

Isn't that your job Steve? ;)


Oh no it's not...only when he's at NAMM...he's back now but God Bless me some Jackson...he sold a damned JP today...I don't even know what that is let alone the build code!!

Is that your first 6 stringer EB?
 
Yup...except for the two 20th Silos I ordered at NAMM that are yet without deposits on them so I'd say...yes..first 6 stringer sale.
 
eloquent as ever Big J. :cool:
and all I can say is that all of us up here at Northwest Guitarworks /Act 1 Music (that'd be my employer and good buddy Tom and myself, oh ya, and Steeb part Deux) can't wait to make it down to NAMM in Jan.. I think I've hyped up BP enough for Tom to prepare him for when he really comes face to face with the force known as Sterling Ball. :D

the stickers don't lie, "Balls Are Best"...... now if we could only get to work on a ROWYCO sticker........ :eek:






:p
