My mom and dad live in a small community southwest of Austin, called Wimberly, Texas.
It has a local newspaper, and there on the front page was a story about the legendary Mr. Neve!
He lives there now, runs a small company that seems to do electronics research.
Pretty cool!
 
That's pretty cool.

I live in Chicago, and Billy Corgan's only a few L-train stops away (10 minutes, tops). Nifty, huh? There are quite a few others, too . . . Oprah, Wrigley Field, Mike Ditka, etc. etc. Too many to even get in to right now. Makes yer head spin, don't it? :D

i guess i must be uptight. i thought these forums are for people who want to learn about recording gear and techniques, not people who want to learn about people who live near people who made significant contributions to the industry
 
Dear God! Respected members of this bbs with 1000's of posts making interesting side-statements with non-misleading titles that you could easily ignore if you wanted to? Say it's not true!!

Seriously, this is a great place with tons of useful information. Likewise, it's also a great place to bullshit with people with the same hobby/profession/mental illness. Let it go. And just stick to forums that are obviously "information-related" if this is offensive to you.

I recently rented a helicopter and flew over Fletcher's house. He really seemed to be enjoying himself. :)

I hear Rick Linklater is a lot more fun than Rupert Neve. Michael, you should try hanging out with him.

See, I didn't even know that until a couple of weeks ago.
It was an interesting article in the paper:
Someone called in to his electronics co. wanting a VCR repaired! :D
 
Just remember..its ok to say hi to him and wish him well when you see him...but it is wrong to want to put him in jars on your shelf in the basement. :eek:
