although not on my news reader so I cant easily respond to george I found this on google for the news group alt.audio.pro.live-sound. for those of you who did not know I went up to New York to work with my friend George (Georges Pro Sound in syracuse ny) for 10days on 2 different shows... he had these nice things to say after our first day:

"well we have kicked off our 10 day run of maddness, setting up the
polishfest yesterday
Mike has been the consumate professional, bioth in directing crew and system
teching

his understanding of DSP processors and digital desks makes him head and
shoulders above most engineers I have encountered
his easy going demenor gives confidence to the clients

its a pleasure to workwith someone of his talent
its too bad  he is based 1000 miles away, he is a asset to any event

the polishfest wraps up tomorrow and by 10 am monday we will be on-site at
"Mountainfest" the 100th anniversery of the 10th mountain division, based at
Fort Drum
we expect 100,000 people a day wed-sunday of next week
I don't know ifI will be stopping back
but when its all done I'll sure to have no presents for the children, but
rather stories for the men
George"

Thanks george for everything!!!
