Likewise had they not had major influence from people like Epstein and Martin they almost certainly would have accomplished much less.
When I am king everyone who contributes gets partial credit! laugh


Maybe the producers felt if they just took all the money, it was a fair exchange.
Seriously, it would really open up the Pandora's box if people started claiming effects settings as proprietary smile
I had an Ibanez tremolo pedal that was out of this world. I bought it.
Anyway, thanks for the interesting and enlightening responses to my question.
