I got a sonic clean at BBC on my Mack-o-clone. The valves were never bad but now they are like buddah!!

The tuning slides line up better.

The low end sounds better.

I even added half an octave to my upper range!! (Not really)

But the rest is so!! :tuba:

Highly recommended.

You know, the part you drive through to get to the beach. :)

BTW, its 34 and rain/snow tonight. I hear that northeastern MN is getting 10 inches of snow. I'm not from here... the people from here don't mention this stuff at all. "Yeah, not summer yet. Keep waiting."

Very glad I live in southern Wisconsin and not "up nort" right now. We stayed over 40 with rain last night.

Instead of talking to your plants, if you yelled at them would they still grow, but only to be troubled and insecure?

Leon Redbone, dead. He was 69 years old. I thought he had a cool vibe...

Got new tires on my car today. When I got home, I dropped my phone and shattered the screen.

Today was a very expensive day.
