Not trying to be a dick or anything, but honestly, I never heard of him until a month or so ago.
He's been writing about MIDI (and other music related topics) since the 80s. I used to read his articles (in magazines, yeah real magazines) faithfully.
The birth of Bapu's Gas?
Actually, yes. Back then I bought all my gear at the local music store. In 1986 and 1987 I was "customer of the month". Seriously, I was. They published a monthly rag back then. My pic was in it and everything.
In 1986 I had purchased my Porta One, Juno 2, some mics, Rockman and a Roland TR-505. All in one month.
In 1987 I had purchased my Tascam 80-8 and 80-2, M-312 mixer and an Alesis Reverb and Delay.
Heck back in the day I kept my local music store afloat. Bought ALL my keyboards , amps, cables etc there.About 5 K a year(in the 80s)
He gave the 30% off AND had an in house payment plan!
Unfortunality, too many jerk musicians burned him with bad checks, not paying etc...he dropped those plans .
Now I am a cheep bastritch and buy from the lowest internet vendor..
