While in Phoenix I went to the Music Instrument Museum. What a blast! I took some photos and made this slide show of some of them, hope you like it.

What a fun reunion this was for sure. It took 30 years to see some of my 1969 classmates , it was something i thought would never happen for me.

So impressed with your stuff on the page,
Just happened stumble on your HJFR Live!, Can't believe that this exist.
I spent 5 years in LA 85 - 90 living in the valley working in Hollywood Post production.
Just love the old slick FM Pop tunes as well as everything else actually. However this type of material just doesn't comer around that often. (Meaning the son and the live set) Big music consumer and collector too. Nowadays mostly audiophile Jazz records played on my High End stereo equipment. doing Audiophile Shows occationally, Working for Ericson in Sweden. Trying to get a grip here, you grew up in the valley, went into the services stationed in Japan? then back to the States? Correct? Will play that live fallin' son many times from now on!

My dad was at FEMCOM at Tachi in the '50s then at Tokorozawa Army Depot and we lived at Grant Heights until '64. Moved back in '68 when he was assigned to Sagami Army Depot. We lived at Sagamihara DHA and I went to school at Zama. We did our major shopping at the Tachi BX. Great memories! Tom Barry

Hi Robert,

I just saw your video of the Grove piece you wrote and dug it. I'm taking skype lessons now with a guy that went to Grove (I've been playing for close to 27 yrs..funny how much you don't know after all that time!) Lotsa material for sure...just wondering what your experience at Grove was like. Was it a real eye opener as far as applied music theory.

Regards,

G7J
