Wow, thanks!!! All those positive comments make my day. (The video even inspired a "guest appearance" in the video's Comments section from our favorite multi-alt troll, so I guess it's getting out there!)
These comments, and the positive ones about the recent "tip of the week" videos, are inspiring me to get back into doing more videos like I did with the Advanced Workshop series. It's something Cakewalk has wanted me to do, and even Henry Juszkiewicz has expressed a desire for me to do more recording-related videos. So I guess I'll be firing up Vegas a lot more... too bad they take so much time, or I'd be cranking out more.
Also, FWIW I didn't get a promotion; when I signed on to Gibson it was as an Executive Vice-President. Mitch was talking more in terms of my career as a whole and how now I'm an EVP at Gibson. Gibson has been a very good "fit" for me, it's a unique situation and there are some real advantages to working with a bunch of cool people instead of being more of a "hired gun." I figured I'd stay here for a year or two, learn what I could, and move on, but now I want to stay here as long as I can.
Thanks again for all the positive feedback, I consider you my peers and so it means just that much more.
