This was a GREAT interview Jules! I commented as such in the discussion on the video, but I'm "bluehornet" there (courtesy of Google) so it might not be obvious. But I can't tell you how many hundreds of hours I spent in the 1980s, trying to cop this guy's grooves. He's basically the reason I got turned on to Sonor as a brand--and it was great to hear the history he gave of the years he's been associated with them.
