Great to hear from you Paul. Glad to hear you are still enjoying collecting Edison phonographs. That's a truly wonderful hobby. That is recording history that must be preserved.

Life for me is much the same. I still play with my band Red Rhythm http://www.redrhythm.com around Ventura County Sth California and occasionally in Las Vegas. Still working during the day writing video games with the current project being Saints Row on the Sony PS3 http://www.saintsrow.com which is a GTA clone with a gangsta hiphop flavor .... sorta violent but very cool as well lol. Virtual online gang war ... better to be in the virtual world than the real world hey???
