I have been on Ak since Nov 2 2002. I was member 145. I make a spectacle of myself during the day.I have been doing this for 28 years.

I began my audio\|music journey around age 8,with an RCA all in one record player.I am more for the music than gear but as many know I have a passion for orphan cdplayers.I have discovered a lot of new artists through the guidance of Ak members.The hunt for cds is as intoxicating as the hunt for new gear is for some of you.

I consider all of you family and like Toze,I love everybody.

My system is modest. Jolida1301 amp,Audionote Ax2 speaks,Nad 521BEE CDP and an Arcam CDP. I use either Final Lab or Qed interconnects.

As Mod of General Discussion I moderate sparingly.I have probably closed 2 threads in my tenure.

I like to think I am loyal to people close to me,I also believe any situation can be diffused with humor.

AK has been good to me and I'll prolly hang here as long as I can type.

Alan was the first to welcome me to AK way back when. A true gentleman and my friend.

Back at ya,Eric

And besides, he's a maritimer, they don't come any better.

Opt just likes being under the microscope.

PEI is good living, a bit far off the beaten path. Howdy!

Yep PEI is isolated,much rather live in a more centralized area like Juneau:lmao:

Yeah, Opt sees through the clouds.

This is typically astute. And hilarious.

I am glad someone picked up the irony and the dry cleaning

I had them starch yr shorts.

I have to say- Alan (Opt80) has maintained his humor and good demeanor, even through life happenings that could have turned even the best person into a bitter sourpuss. I have to really respect him for that.

Here's to you, Alan, for always keeping your chin up. :thmbsp:

Regards,
Gordon.

Thanks Gord,

Without a sense of humor I'd be crocheting quilts a long time ago.

As opposed to knitting water wings?

Some people like to listen to Jim Croce while they crochet.Life is funny?

Damn. That's a nasty revelation. Just damn.

I remember Alan as being one of the first to greet me as well. It was very nice to feel welcome. Jay

Yep, I'm proud to say Alan and I have been friends for a long time. We share similar tastes music and books, and Alan has introduced me to lots of excellent tunes and authors. I'm proud to call him friend. I just wish he lived a bit closer so I could raid his music collection more often.

You get my check? I know your looking for a cheque, but that's not what I sent you. I sent you a check. Just checking.

Send him a Czech, instead.

Alan is a fine man. I am proud to call him friend.

Yep,Jeffy and I have been buds for years,his youngest once called me on speed dial which was funny,Jeff reads really good books and to me he is the epitome of fatherhood.

George the Czech is in the bank.

Alan, keep them coming, I would miss your play(s) on words.

Alan, I always look forward to your posts. Nothing else around here quite like your sense of humor. :D AK has been good to me and I'll prolly hang here as long as I can type. We'll be glad to have you!

A man after my own heart. It's the music, folks! The gear is just a means to the end.
This man's system mirrors his own modesty. Any time he posts, I truly look forward to reading whatever it is that he has to say.
Alan, I'm happy to know you. :beerchug:
Regards from Tom

Glad to learn more about you, sir.
