I heard a story that the guards at Alcatraz would tell the prisoners that they cut off one of the fins off the sharks so that they would swim in only one direction around the island.

Wikipedia says Alcatraz translates to the "island of the pelicans".

Spanish word.

They could hear them across the water. Had to be torture.

Apparently Frank was a genius. Prison closed down after the escapes, but probably had more to do with the economics of keeping an island prison running and there was abuse found.

These swimmers were out there yesterday. They came from the direction of Alcatraz, swam under a pier then headed back out the same way.

I heard a theory that those prisoners made it off the island by holding on to the back of the last guard shuttle boat of the night. This was apparently an activity the brothers had engaged in frequently as kids.

Also, I'm sorry for the quality of the photos and especially videos. The files seem to get mangled when sent via text and were too big for email. I was just hoping to give everyone an idea of what it was like to be there. Huge thanks to Mike for posting them.

Best regards,
Paul

I was wondering who takes video footage on 240p these days! But that makes a bit more sense. 🙂

Thanks for sharing... it was great from those of us remotely waiting for some news on BAF.

Best,
Rafa.
Edit and PS: Any chance of a 're-upload' now that you can put them in youtube in HD? 🙂

Is the H2 generator meant to be permanent in the audio chain…...or just for education purpose to learn how 2nd H sounds?
Normally you just want the signature of the amp ifself…...e.g. ACA, M2? …..and if using a BA3 pre you can adjust the distortion…..you probably just use that?


Maybe if there is a H2 YouTube from BA 2018......I get all the answers…….

Quoting someone much smarter than me about "adding" H2 🙂 :
...Some purists argue that this is some sort of violation of the recording, that playback should be as accurate as possible. It's a valid opinion, but it's not my purpose to argue that point here.

My own view is that this is entertainment - not Dialysis - and the customer should use
whatever makes him happy. After all, he is the guy who pays for it.

Read about it here while the YouTube video arrives 😉 :
