| RIP Richie Havens Saw him a couple of years ago in a small club in Cambridge, MA. What an incredible stage presence and energy. He broke a string on his Guild and switched to another one with out missing a beat. A very special musician. He will be greatly missed. | |
| marantz integrated I recently sold my Portal Panache integrated. Great amp., spectacular mid range very natural sounding. Built like a tank. If you can find one used, should go for $8-900. Good luck. |
