Blind Lemon retires Ming takes over

[Blind Lemon]

Hi All UK Knuckleheads,

Just to let you guys know that the day has finally come and the old lemon is retiring.
Ming (aka Nick Clubb) will be taking over as Musicman Product Manager at Strings & Things and his e mail is [email protected]

I would like to say that it's been a pleasure working with the Ball family and everyone at the Ernie Ball Musicman company over the last several years. It was also great to meet all you guys at the couple of UK Knucklehead bashes we had. I wish you all the best for the future.

Cheers,
BL

Have a great retirement Pete!

I'll give it three weeks until you're snowed under with jobs at home and longing to get back to work! You'll wonder where you ever found the time.

It's been great meeting you at the bashes and all the best for the future.

All the best and thanks for all your help emptying my bank account over the last few years

Which EBMM guitar(s) are you going to play now you have plenty of time?

Pete.

Thanks again for your help with my guitars, the Excel bash and all the tickets to various shows etc.

Have a great retirement and I'm sure we'll see you around at some music show some time.

Pete- Last night was so funny yet so poignant.
When you rang I had my headphones on practising guitar in my hotel room. I wasn't going to answer it then saw your name.
So glad I spoke to you, and I appreciated the call.

I know you won't mind me saying that you have family here in South Wales and that we plan to see each other to have a drink and put the world to rights.

I also have to say to the Knuckleheads out there that the Lemon and his team did an inordinate amount of work in getting those bashes arranged and we were all so fortunate to taste the fruits of their labour - again thanks Pete.

Carpe Diem in your retirement and myself, OlPlayer and Mrs OlPlayer look forward to meeting up with you in a couple of weeks time.
