DanO1 Senior Member Registered: 01/31/01 Posts: 3602 Loc: Maryland	Well , I was listening to a guy do a microphone sound check . He really did not know what to say ....... SO ...I decided to create a Mic check manual . Maybe everyone can pitch in ....... After stepping up to the microphone the 1st thing you say is ........ PAGE 1 ......."check" _________________________ dansmusicgear@aol.com https://www.reverbnation.com/danoneil?profile_view_source=profile_box

Dreamer Senior Member Registered: 02/23/01 Posts: 3849 Loc: Rome - Italy	Tony, that reminds me of that great movie, "A fish called Wanda". One of the best scenes featured John Cleese speaking italian and Jamie Lee Curtis...well, I am sure you know the rest... _________________________ Korg Kronos 61 and PA3X-Pro76, Roland G-70, BK7-m and Integra 7, Casio PX-5S, Fender Stratocaster with Fralin pickups, Fender Stratocaster with Kinman pickups, vintage Gibson SG standard.

Tony W Member Registered: 12/04/99 Posts: 836 Loc: Lancaster UK	Hello Dreamer, I am ashamed to say it but I have never seen the film. I love John Cleese but for me he will always be Basil Fawlty (did you guys see Fawlty Towers?) ...and I can't take him seriously in anything else! As Manuel (from fawlty towers) would say... que? ttfn Tony

"Que?" "There is too much butter ON THOSE TRAYS!" "Oh no, senor! No, no no: not "On those trays"; "UNO, DOS, TRES!" _________________________ Korg Kronos 61 and PA3X-Pro76, Roland G-70, BK7-m and Integra 7, Casio PX-5S, Fender Stratocaster with Fralin pickups, Fender Stratocaster with Kinman pickups, vintage Gibson SG standard.
