They do consider themselves as such Arny, especially the Celts. Just because
your bigoted opinions do not take their own view of themselves into account
doesn't mean they are not in fact races.
Then again it was just another of your childish attempts to have a dig at
George.
Arny is just pissed because George continually shows Arny up as a
know-nothing blowhard with an ego the size of Mount Rushmore. Arny is a mad
bible-basher and religious bigot.
Arny only gets to do sound because he volunteers in his local church and has
very little live sound experience. George is an industry professional for
many years, owner of a successful sound company and is VERY well respected
in his field. George has no time for religions but is tolerant of all
faiths, often doing install jobs etc for churches for free or at cost.
Just thought I'd get that into context.

Championships of the Royal Scottish Pipe Band Association. There were approx
220 bands taking part. It might be big but it's certainly not clever.

No ... they're scottish pipe bands so ... 220 bass drums, probably 380 tenor
drums and 900 snare drums ... all being played simultaneously.

No, but his past incarnation was probably Hitler or Stalin or something. |
I feel his pain. My uncle recently discovered piano accordions and has built
up a business buying and selling them (as a hobby in addition to his main
business). He's also joined a club and learned to play the bloody things.
He's also asked me to put a system in for their concerts. Luckily I've been
at sea for all of them so far and have put the work the way of a local sound
company who I really don't like very much. Still, they have a xmas recital
planned and I'm going to be at home :-(

they who are responsible for the problem. It's always good for a great

Some years ago I was in Starsound and the place was quite crowded. There
were lines at the counters and the main guys attention was consumed
dealing with an obviously self-important Catholic priest whose
transaction required patience. He had obviously spent plenty good money
there, both that day and many times before.
But he was a tiresome sort, and eventually the bird started _yelling_
out, "You're an asshole! You're a fucking asshole!!"
Man, talk about needing concentration to prevent outrageous laughter.
Everyone there except for the priest knew what the bird was talking
about.

I forgot all about that damn bird. Must be over twenty years ago I was |
frequenting that place. I remember he had a whole repertoire of
feedbacks and "Prophet 5" preset patches. ;-)
Our band(s) used to play at Grand Ballroom, Del Mar Station, and once at
a club near Keitske and Glendale. I don't remember the name, but they
had that old Kustom console that had built in comps and gates on each
channel. Thanks for jogging my memory!
