Hehe....... Actually came from a Football incident (Australian Rules) involving massive impact, memory loss, disorientation........ and an ambulance !
Not because I tried to correct my typing errors using white-out correction fluid on the screen

I can relate to head injuries.
4 concussions in 3 years riding BMX bikes in skateparks.
I seriously had no short-term memory for a good two years after the 4th one.

Man, you've just left the door wide open ! :
I'm sure BB is going to see a correlation between you, me, our opinions, our comments, and head injuries !!!

Hahahaha, well...
I had to stop riding after that. The doc said I was in "the danger zone". One more and I might be wearing a helmet for good!
That was close to 10 years ago now. Supposedly every 2 successive years with no injury is one concussion off the "list". Once they are all gone I'm in the "safe zone" again.
So I *should* be okay now. At least as "okay" as I get!

Hehe....... Talking about getting some back
I'm still miffed about adamcrnll's last thread, where I got slagged off regarding comments I never even made..... or had an opinion on !
Completely unwarranted !
Then it got locked, so I couldn't "give some back"
OK, Back OT
QUESTION :
Does the fact that you've got a legend on the saw producing 33.333% more tops than you thought you'd get, mean that the limits created by lack of wood are reduced by 33.3333 % ????!!!!?????
Woo-Hoo ! The BFR's should be CHURNING out !!!
What's next, 33.333% more options ?
>> Ducking For Cover <<<
Disclaimer :
I'm just being a smartass....... before any retalliatory comments, just shake your head and smile !!!
If I had done that, I would have been reamed!

The whole idea behind the BFRs is awesome. I'm glad the pics are being shared.
Are those one piece tops for the 10 basses or something else?

Many of you who dont know who Dan Norton is really need to understand that he has been with us for 34 years. He has had his touch on everything through out those years.
We were looking for a business guy...we had 10 employees or so back then. Dan had just graduated from Chico State with a business degree. Ill never forget my dad was just back from his lunch of body surfing and Dan shows up for the interview in a three piece suit. My dad asked for his resume and Dan pulled out a partially built classical guitar that Dan was making by hand that was stunning. Dan got hired and we never did see a resume.
Dan ran Earthwood after George left, was my fathers right hand man for many years. He started Music Man and built the origianl factory and helped to integrate Dudley.
As my father slowed down Dan had a choice....stay with my Dad and his projects or give me a try.
Together we won 8 best of show awards at namm, made RVs with 18 demo stations hanging on them , put graphics on VW's before it was commonplace, design and build mobile stages, coordinated the desert move and tons in between. Dan is also a hellacious baker and his pies are world class.
It is fun to watch Dan work with the third generation. His desk in the desert is next to Brians and he works really closely with Scotty in SLO.
Maybe some of the other Employees can add to the Dan topic.
Dan is not an employee he is a member of the family.
