So, yesterday a package arrives at my office. One I had been highly anticipating! But, I must say there was an issue. Now, it is not uncommon for me to have personal packages shipped to the office. However, this one was delivered to me with a rather circumspect look and a hovering stance which seemed to demand an explanation.
The label read BlowsMeAway Productions. I’m sure her mind was not the first one to go there when reading such a label on an otherwise nondescript package. You see, I’d asked Greg to send my Ultimate 545SD conversion to my office which he did, with an impressive turnaround time I might add.
Well, I knew not providing an explanation at this point would lead to a much more involved one later. I explained that in the package was a custom made harmonica microphone by one of the best in the business, thus the company name BlowsMeAway, clever, right…no response…Bueller, Bueller…nope, nothin’.
My only option was to open it immediately, which was really what I wanted do anyway, and show her it was nothing inappropriate but, somehow I knew I shouldn’t! So there I am tearing at the tape and ripping through the packing material…I pull it out. It’s not that long but, impressive in its girth. Through the opaque wrapping you could see a blue glow. At this point her expression changes and I rise quickly in her direction to stop her exit but, then pull back and gently ask her to stay, it’s not what you think, no, it’s not like that.
I remove the protective plastic and hold in my hands a blue velvet bag. I look up as I open the bag slowly exposing the large dark helmet sitting atop the smooth, red, anodized shaft, it a Bulletizer I explained, so you can grip it better when you blow…
She leaves. Now I’m alone. I hold it in my hands, not sure what to do…I wish I could plug it and give it a whirl but, I know the wailing would disturb the rest of the office. I can’t leave work yet. I don’t want to explain this again. So I sit there, fondling it under my desk, wanting desperately to blow it and hoping not to be discovered…
Do any of you know a good resume writer and recruiter?
Honestly, the service from Greg was fantastic. The quality of the parts and work exceeded all my expatiations and I have a mic that will never let me down. And, yes it sounds great!
Thank you, Greg!
Another satisfied customer!

Yeah! Good campfire tale. Like it. You could have said you were going to blow your brains out for BYBO3.

Résumé? You don't need a résumé. You have a promising career writing comedy, or porn, or both. :)

Imagine the reaction had you gone into the relative merits of a stick vs Green Bullet. At least you didn't mention the whole tongue blocking vs lip pursing thing.
And yes, Greg's work and customer service are both superb.

There might still be a bit of tongue slapping that could result in me having to learn another position and improve my bending technique.
Tremelo, stick vs bullet...I’m glad I didn’t get in that deep. Afterwards things just become so much more complicated. I’m sure you know what I mean. The questions you don’t want to answer… do you like my Fat Bottom, why the Lone Wolf attitude. This of course all leads to a night bent over a Bottle O’ Blues. Then the next day you blow into a ceramic disc and things get all crunched up. Then you’re out on the curb sitting on old Fender, a top hat crumpled beside you. And all that’s left in your in head is the bad tone from that last note she left you with…

Sorry, Rubes. But that is the complicated part of which I speak.
At least she's not obsessed like mine...
My baby’s obsessed and I don’t know what to do
You may laugh but it’s all true
My baby loves to blow all day and all night
She’s obsessed and it just ain’t right
Don’t hold back,
Blow that thing,
No, don’t hold back,
Blow that thing
Last night my baby reached over and whipped it out
She put her lips on it and I gave a shout
Her tongue slapped and she bent down low
Wailed through all positions fast and slow
Don’t hold back,
Blow that thing,
No, don’t hold back,
Blow that thing
She wet her lips and slid it in and out,
She shook her head and tongued about
Took it high then way down low
Suckin’ and blowin’, fast and slow
Don’t hold back,
Blow that thing,
No, don’t hold back,
Blow that thing
My baby knows just what I need,
It’s rhythm and time, not speed
She groves so tight, so low
Her harmonica steals the show
Don’t hold back,
Blow that thing,
No, don’t hold back,
Blow that thing
My baby’s obsessed and I don’t know what to do
You may laugh but it’s all true
My baby loves to blow
Yea, my baby just loves to blow
Don’t hold back,
Blow that thing,
No, don’t hold back,
I’m blown away
