Robin Members Statistics

[Jack Kennedy]

Hey Everyone,
Has there been any statistics applied too the Robin Lovers Forumn ? For example : Average age , average income , average number of Robin Guitars owned ? I would not want too invade anyones privacy , but some of this stuff might be interesting too take a look at. With the amount of Robin guitars some of our members own they could really throw the curve off :-)
I had a statistics class in college , on the 1st Day our Proffesser told us he was ADD/Hyperactive and did not take his medication. Needless too say it was very difficult too follow his lectures . I flunked the course and took it with a different teacher the next semester.
I am not suggesting we do a statistics analysis with the Robin Lovers Forumn :-) Its been great talkin with everyone.

CRAP!!!!

I enjoy the idea of the survey but household income? I am surprised any of you answered that. What's next, online credit apps?

Hey if I have flown off the handle with my irrational exhuberence please say so. I'm going to blame it on the crappy lunch I just finished anyway. If I have not and you'd like your household income removed, then just email me and I'll take care of it.

For the Record, my household income is NOYDB (None of Your Damned Business)

I think we should add Mother's Maiden Name and Social Security Number to the list. That would be FUN.

Custom Siegmund to run my Leslies made with 1965 Valco Trannies. (Class A dual mono 4xEL34's) This has the prototype for the Siegmund Midnight Blues but I had him change it with Octal preamp tube 6SL7 instead of the 12AX7 that's standard.
I have two 1970's era Leslie Plus Two cabinets with reconed 1966 Vox JMI 12" Gold Bulldog's. The Leslies are modified so they have a variable rotation speed rather than just slow or fast so I run them in stereo ... one slow & one medium for a genuinely mind blowing experience... ARE YOU EXPERIENCED?

Shoot I have probably 100 old stompers (my basic pedal board is in "General Chatter") around & way too much other gear to list & thanks to Ebay I've bought & sold every freakin guitar made ... My Savoy & My Avalon are THE BEST. NO Gretsch, No Gibson, No PRS, No Hamer.

ROBIN RULES!!! (Course my G&L's are kinda cool!!!)

It's an obscession with me.
