Hi everyone, I am back from my long long vacation!

Sorry for not returning a lot of emails (mostly regarding login and usability issues) in the past 1.5 months, I am too busy preparing for the wedding, finishing up my work before the leave, prepared and went to my honeymoon vacation.

There are a few things planned and half completed for the forum but don’t have time upload them in past month, they are:

1. The Laurence Juber Interview, in which, I think is one of the best Interview so far! LJ was known to be a Collings player/fan, he is still a big fan of Collings even his Martin signature journey (e.g. he use his Collings OM1C exclusively in his coming Album). He shared lot of Collings stories in the Interview. Thanks to eiko again and sorry for the delay!

2. I was building a section in the forum to list out all the prefixes and their definitions. It is something missing in the official website that I think we can fill the gap. (Just like the custom option section). So, no one will get confused of what their 0002HAVSBCssDB stands for.

3. Build the section to document our 2006 gatherings just like previous years, once again, thanks David for organizing it again! Please keep organizing them so I still have chance to attend it!

I got to meet Laurie Williams of Williams Guitar in Auckland, he was kind enough to drive down to Auckland from where he live (5 hours drive) for the weekend and bought his own personal guitar for me to try! His guitar is fantastic and very different. I will share the story with you after I completed the above outstanding items!

Thanks for the heads up!

I have fixed the LJ Interview. Now, I am waiting for the hosting service to send me my password so I can upload it! (My computer crashed and I need to reformat it and I lost all my login ID and passwords.)

Should be up in a couple days! Sorry again Ace!

Don't worry Ed. You have a lot on your hands. We know how hard it is to take care of the Forum stuff on top of all your other things to do. I'm sure we all thank you for your hard work and for keeping us all together. THANKS.

Ace

Hear, hear!

another thanks here look forward to the interview

The LJ Interview was finally posted! Next will be the Gathering info and album.

It really is the one of the best ever! Thanks Ace!

So far, it seems like everyone has enjoyed the LJ interview. Thanks to those who went out of their way to say nice things about it. I do appreciate the kind words. I just consider myself blessed to be able to do what I do.

One clarification: I believe that LJ played his Martin Signature on the latest album. When I asked the question about whether he indicated which guitar is used on a particular song, his response was that he used "this one guitar" for the album. During the interview, he was holding/playing his Sig Model so I'm sure that's what that meant. Sorry if there was some confusion regarding this. Thanks.
