I am posting this here on Gary's (aka Sonny Jr.) behalf, due to the temporary restriction on new memberships.

With the new Avenger finished and performing like a fire breathing dragon,
I will be at the Crown Hotel, right next door to the Hilton where the
Masterclass is going on. Dave and I had a falling out and he did not return 4
emails, may not have even read them, so I am actually excited to be
showcasing my amps from 10:00AM - 9PM May 21 - 23rd. This is your opportunity to get the feel of such unique amps. The Cruncher will be there also and I will be bringing close to 10 of my hot 1950's elements loaded in Turner shells.

********** BOTH amps will be discounted from their stock price as I do not want to go through packing them back up. Final cost of the Avenger will most likely be $1995.00 ( In California $1795.00) with the NOS preamp section, American paper in oil capacitors, the fad I started 8 years ago, and pop out casters with big rubber feet, and 4 of Weber's Best speakers.

The Avenger is an amp that sounds great at 1 - as high as you can go, as
is the Cruncher, the amp Mark Hummel loves to play along with his Super
Sonny, as he exclusively endorses my amps.

This is what my reputation is Really like; I have 11 orders already on my
word alone as life is too short to be negative. If all of you want to
continue with holding grudges, that is up to you. Now would be a time to speak face to face and I would certainly listen to your concerns. It is short
notice, but I will give either a Sonny Terry/amplification seminar for not much money from 12 - 3 Saturday. Please figure on a seminar on Saturday from that time period on amplification for the layperson, custom mics, Sonny's style; get back to me off list as to what you would prefer and lock in as I will hold only a small seminar to work individually with each person, contact me asap to get a spot. I am not sure when the next time I will be out to the west coast. I will have a conference room where you can really hear each amp, I will walk you through them, and I am positive it will leave a
positive impression. I look forward to your comments off list.
Even though Dave has issues with me, I took the respectful route and no
matter what seminar I do will be on his break time. I look forward to meeting
as many people as possible.

Respectfully, Sonny Jr.

Gary can be reached for questions at sonnytone@aol.com

As a P.S. - I attended a previous seminar where Gary demonstrated/taught the Sonny Terry style. Gary Was Sonny's driver for several years and Sonny shared a lot with him. I've never heard anyone play Sonny Terry style better than Gary - just going to hear him do that will be a treat. And of course the new Avenger should be a killer amp.

Gary is looking to borrow a small PA - if you're in the San Jose area and can help him out that would be great.....
