TPA

[johnny9fingers]

Last week was, for me, the end of an era.

I took my Marshall Halfstack and my 'Blackface' Twin home from Tin Pan Alley Studios.

Steve has been bought out of his tiny remaining share of TPA Studios and is now looking for a long-term engineering position somewhere in his locale. For more than a decade he was Mr TPA, or at least, Mr TPA Studios. He took his eye off the ball and the business went under as his marriage broke down, but who in such a position wouldn't? Some lesser person than him who didn't care as much about his marriage, probably. Oh well. Still there was a time when he owned a bit of the collective Rock 'n' Roll history of London, and a place where The Stones, The Kinks, Jimi, The Who, and countless others recorded or rehearsed.

Anyway I also brought home my old-fashioned pedalboard, which appears to be malfunctioning. If I go back to playing in any serious way I suppose I shall have to replace it.

Rehearsal tomorrow night. I shall have to reacquaint myself with the instrument.

I remember my own Twin Reverb fondly. It was a fun amp for my pre-strike Fender Rhodes. :P
