Bill Szymczyk.

Since I'll never be here on time to be the first with a correct answer I hereby submit Bill Szymczyk as a standing response until such time as a question to which it IS the answer appears.

I've got time.

Sunshine, don't take me as an authority. Both answers may be true, and I appreciate that you are trying to know what really happened, and to keep the record clear.

For the purposes of giving away premiums on a music forum, I have to go with general consensus about something which may be ambiguous. A 1962 model may well be introduced in late 1961, as in the auto industry, and how do we decide whether to go with the model year or the date of introduction?

Researchers and vintage experts may have more detailed and specific information at hand (which may or may not be contested by others); in this case, and for the purposes of an informal contest, I am relying on a publication by Fred Gretsch Enterprises.

That may be based on imperfect memory of a model year introduction, and I'm neither arguing nor trying to establish a historical fact.

You're not being ignored, and I apologize if I seem to run over your contributions and questions. In fact, for your efforts toward historical accuracy, we're going to send you something cool. OK?

Sad but true. I quit just moments before they succeeded and all became billionaires.

Four hours of NAMM left, but I don't fly out till tomorrow, and no concerts or Didneyland tonight, so I'm going to keep posting from the 'otel till I run out of content, and keep giving stuff away till Joe gets nervous.

IMPORTANT GIVEAWAY NOTICES

The question for today's 5222 amp will come in the next hour.

And the chance to win the Jag tan 125th Anniversary will go up at 6:00, as promptly as my elastic sense of time will permit.

NOTE: that contest will run in a new thread, to make it as clean and responsive as possible. The thread will be titled "NAMM08 Anniversary Giveaway." This ought to give anyone anywhere in the world a fair shot to plan ahead. And we'll know by later tonight who is the winner.

Much more content to come, including devastating music clips, surprise product demos (by real pros, not by me), a visit to TV Jones and Bigsby in the basement...and DICK DALE plays at 4:00.

Is that 6:00 Pacific time?

So will the amp be in the new thread also, or in this one?

I know I wasn't the first to answer "Mark Robertson," but I think I said it best!

And a vote up to Zuma for his Bill Szymczyk strategy. (And for a cool name - one of my favourite Neil Young & Crazy Horse albums.)

I didn't mean to be picky.

Sounds fair enough to me. Thank you for your generosity.
