RE: I miss road trips and the people one meets to pick up 'Tables

Not for a turntable, but I did for my Acoustats and their servo amps.

Fourth of July weekend, 2010. Drove straight through from Dallas to Nashville. Stayed that Saturday and Sunday nights at his place before driving straight through back to DFW. Really nice older gent. He'd made his fortune as a building mover. He'd been forced to retire after Parkinson's got so bad he couldn't work. It had affected his ability to speak and he was barely able to still walk, but his love of music and ESL's hadn't diminished one iota. He had a very cool log-cabin style home in the middle of the woods. Finding his place in the dark that Saturday night when I got there was a bit like your following the semi lights in the snow. I'd forgotten how dark dark can be.

Stayed in touch with him for a few years after that. The progression of his disease has all but taken him now. A sad end I'm afraid, but I'll always remember his kindness and generosity.
