Coming in from the cold

It has been ages since I have been on or posted on our beloved forum, so I thought it fitting that I explain what happened to me ? I was offered job in the industrial valve sector selling valve actuation equipment into the local industry. Well the job kind of consumed me and left me with virtually no time for anything I once enjoyed. GDP Audio was dismantled and I also ceased making Tube Tamers. Recently, Manfred proposed that we hand the TT project over to someone that would be interested in keeping it alive. After reading his email to the proposed successor, I clicked on a link to the article describing the development of the TT and once again, I was back on the forum! I have missed being involved here dearly. My job pays well, but sadly, I can never be as happy as I was running GDP Audio, repairing valve amps and equipment and of course building TTs. It is sad that SA is so off the map and nowhere near as thriving as overseas, as I would have liked to have continued in the industry, but there was not enough volume to sustain it. Anyway, as the thread subject states. I am coming in from the cold, having forgotten so much that I learned here - it took me a while to remember how to start a new topic! The good news is that my playing has advanced in leaps and bounds, albeit small ones ? So I am going to try my best to be involved - it is just so much more real than what I do most days... and most nights with my current job. I am looking forward to chat with all my old friends and also new ones that have joined since my last post.

Thanks for all the WBs guys. The forum has really grown. Took me a while to figure out how to navigate with all the nice new goodies!
