Good Lord, has it really been 6 years?

Sorry to report that the cost to manufacture the AAPMT has forced me to cease all production. Well, that, and a pair of lawsuits brought on by the Australian Government and the High Council of the Ohio-Pennsylvania Amish Clans. I guess they were just pissed that I was trying to use them in name only as a marketing tool. The Aussies settled for a round of beers but the Amish turned out to be real pricks about the whole thing.

I hope the songbooks went well because there were sure as hell no royalties on the moustache tuner. If they did it was probably because of the free fan. Damn nice fan actually. Without them the songbooks would have bombed. Its a piss poor song book if it can't sing and try as I might, I couldn't get mine to utter even the littlest ditty............oughta' just call it a lyrics and music book because as that its pretty damn good and worth the money.

Anyway, you might as well check the Gordon Bok Website. They still have plenty of songbooks it seems and lots of cd's as well...always nice at Christmas. Sadly though, the fans are no where to be seen......***sigh***..........Seemed like a great promo to me. Also, there is a section on "Gordon Bok Woodcarvings." Seems like he's gotten into whittlin' in a big way and there are some photos of various chunks of wood that he's gouged out and cut on some.
