that sucks.

we all end up 6 feet under - the lucky ones stay above for a tad longer - but we all go to the same place.
it really is a journey, and you just cant farm out the battle wounds

Remembering Cygnus X1. Here's a link to a search-list of his posts.

http://ampgarage.com/forum/search.php?s ... =Cygnus+X1


:idea: Hi mods - Seeing as how the forum has been expanded out lately to include Fender Marshall etc discussion boards, maybe you can also set up an 'In Remembrance' board out of respect for members who've passed away? (and maybe do something to respectfully indicate their status in their posts)? (Dunno if this is possible?)

I just noticed his last post was the middle of August. It's comforting to know he was still finding joy is his hobby near the end. RIP.

I didn't know him except to read his past posts. But I feel the loss all the same. RIP.

Did anyone know his name? I know he lived near me, so I wonder if we had ever met outside of TAG.

Sorry to hear. I've followed his posts on several forums. Thoughts and prayers to his family.
It's a guitar amplifier. How hard can it be?
