Whatever happened to him. He didn't post in a very long time. I hope he's okay. Any information on his whereabouts are apreciated.

I agree Joachim, and also another CA guy Gary Brandin
Regards, Craig

I cried because I had no shoes, then I met a man who had no feet.

I can't really answer the question, but Barry last logged in Jul of 2020. George Kimery last logged in Jun of this year. I don't see a member named Gary Brandin.

I was conversing with him earlier in the year about Marsh amps, texted several times, no response, undelivered...he posted quite regularly and was curios about how he made out with the Marsh amps...

George, I had lunch with George Kimery at a restaurant in Asheville, NC about 8 or 9 months ago. We discussed Marsh amps. If I remember correctly, he was awaiting delivery of the 85 watt version from Mike at the time. I’ve been concerned as well.

Yes Jerry I knew that but seemed strange when I texted him was no delivery
Hope he’s alright

I’ve tried contacting him as well but no answer. We were supposed to have gotten together for lunch again near my home in TN.

Gary Brandin’s handle here is “Brandin.” He hasn’t posted in some time.

But Gary is doing fine - he just posted a tune on Facebook the other day.

I’m not sure what the story is with Barry Blackwood.

Thanks Bill and Mark, I searched him a few times since I liked his Vanduras CD and the Blue Hawaiians, and nothing recent came up. Good to hear that he is still around, I'm not a Facebook person, so I guess I miss out on a lot of stuff other than on here.

Thanks,
