Finished the Stereomour manual tonight. This one took a solid week and a half - after 16 years of writing manuals they have not gotten any easier. Celebrating the completion with some libations and a couple records by my favorite yet somewhat obscure jazz pianist. If you don't know him, get to know him -

Hampton Hawes

The Challenge

Live at the Jazz Showcase in Chicago Volume One- which also features two other somewhat obscure but amazing players - bassist Cecil McBee and drummer Roy Haynes.

But Dan they have gotten better, the best I have ever seen.  I would dare say the best in the industry today.  I have seen what some other kit builders have for a manual and there is no competition out there.  Whether we say it or not, your manuals are awesome!

Dan,

Thanks for cranking out that manual!

Funny, I've definitely heard of both McBee and Haynes, but not Hawes.  Wonder how that happened.  Anyway, I too will add this to my shopping list.

Thanks,

Jim

2wo - what on earth are: "mainframe chemistry systems"?

I too second the praise for BH manuals, they do a great job documenting the intended build and build sequence.

Sounds like something Perkin-Elmer would make.

Tonight:

Herbie Hancock Secrets

Kind of obscure relative to his other albums, but it makes me think about this guy who's been a bop keyboardist for Miles and later contributed majorly to the evolution of Hip Hop. Dayumn, tha's pretty funky - in a John Lee Hooker talking to Charles Brown "yeah, tha's pretty funky" kind of way, with the flavor of synth spread over it like pouring champagne in, well, 'nuff said...

OK, now on to Future Shock...ROCKIT

Blood Chemistry analyzers for hospital laboratories. These will measure anything from cholesterol, cocaine to your PSA level
