Just had a GREAT conversation with Leon (Shboom)..lucky to catch him on his lunch break...really good guy, devoted family man, and he has that GREAT looking photo of himself with a 12 string Dano (actually, a Silvertone...worth some money) on his website.(remember me in your will, Leon...I NEED another great guitar...HA..HA!).

Remember folks, just when you least expect it, you might get a call!

All the best, Leon,

Russ...
you made my tuesday morning, although it was technically after noon.
I was shocked, surprised, but most of all flattered, that you would take the time and effort to call, not only myself, but so many other zoner's.
I cannot begin to describe what a treat it was to put a voice....with the text.
I guess the next step is a get together to put a face to the voice.
Many of the zone participants here are very lucky, in the sense that they actually, know one another, and have had the opportunity to make the physical connection....so to speak.
Maybe one day I'll be able to partake in another Zoner jam/get-together.
Of course....being up here in Canada, I'll have to wait for the ice to melt, and the money to start coming in from my fur-trading.

Seriously...thanks Russ for taking the time & thought to give me a "shout out". It was very much appreciated, and we'll talk again soon...
....."if not on the phone...then on the zone"...

Hey, Leon..I'm working with a company, Arke, an Italian manufacturer of spiral staircase kits. We are finishing the displays for Lowe's stores, and the manufacturer of the displays is a company called Strath Elgin.
I'll be in Canada several times the first few months in 2006 to work with them and also the Lowe's organization. They're getting ready for a major expansion in Canada (300 plus stores, I believe). I'll
give you a call. Canada is a big place, but we'll be in most major trading areas sometime in 2006.

Be GREAT to grab lunch and visit...

All the best...

Russ
