Thanks Noel.  The blog was always top notch, so keeping it alive to use as a reference is a good thing.

Thank you. There were many helpful posts i wanted to revisit.

Soooo.... did Kirk Hammet ever get in touch with you?

Kirk Hammett reminds me more and more of Tuck Andress as he gets older. Both awesome guitarists though. 

Hi Noel, if you’re still listening, apart for my best wishes to you et al, it was nice to see Ron Kuper briefly stick his head in here and suggest he’d be a goer for any open source projects based on Sonar that may come out of whatever it is that’s being transitioned to.

An Interesting thought, even though I can’t see Sonar being open sourced. Surely the IP is worth something to Gibson. I sure know it would be to an open source community.
