I think I forgot to share this w/ you guys!

Since I'm signed up to the newsletter, I made it to Mike's Top 8 & was one of the lucky few to receive his cousin's #beadwork w/ my new #looper #effectsPedal! 😋

I decided to replace the #EHX 95000 loopstation with this. Smaller & does what it needs to. Better fit for my #NativeAudio #pedalboard.

It's like he read my mind. Or maybe I read his? Hey, we're all relatives. Anyway, I had been wondering what their take on this type of pedal would be. Something w/ looping capabilities, that is.

I’m making this post because I don’t what else to do.

I’m looking for James Mast, a son of Moses Mast (my dear friend and mentor who recently passed away). If you are James or you know how to get in touch with him, please contact me (jmb.mx/contact) , as I want to make sure James can attend the memorial service (even if it has to be remote) but also for some other important issues.

FYI, James was last known to be in Cornwall, Ontario (see https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/sixties-scoop-immigration-1.7541323 ) , but I haven’t had any luck tracking him down.
