after 30 some years in the music industry I have decided to call it quits.
the agravation, time and energy no longer is profitable. Blame it on the devaluation of the dollar, the recession whatever but after much contemplation I have come to the conclusion that I have no other choice than to shut the portals of LostartVintage forever.

Thanks for your past support.

In the UK April Fool gags are not considered valid after midday, so I guess you just scraped in, given the time-zone difference.

I'll be over with the van later this afternoon. It'd be better if you're not there during the removal process.

Sorry Al, not very creative.

You could have just informed us that you are now taking PayPal. Now THAT would be a good one.

Just be sure to line up the Factory Tour first. They might still let you in. Second, destroy all my credit card information (assuming you haven't already lost it again).

It's totally true.

Al told me that he was going into appliance repair because he has the ass for it.

To me this April Fool's joke wasn't as funny as the one about having cajons for sale.
