LOL!!! Those are great names!!I wished we would've thought of that when the band was together. We had a terrible time coming up with a name. We were actually called "Freewill", but I love "Rushed Journey" that fit us perfectly!!!

Do you all remember a series of E/V speakers called VOTs for Voice Of The Theater? I never heard anything like them for years and years.

EV had the Patrician and such.
My current bass player has a pair of the Voices of Theater speakers. I think the drivers are all bad but those cabinets are HUGE. I have never heard them before, but they look like they would sound nice.
There used to be a musician saying...If it ain't heavy...Don't buy it!!!
Boy, I'm getting old--of course VOTs are Altec Lansing.
I was working as a stagehand at the NY Shakespeare In the Park after I left Singer back in '74 and they were using specially built VOTs there--WOW! They could fill that outdoor theater like a live performance! I think that was the summer Sam Watterston did a pretty bad Hamlet.And somebody accidently set the cuff of my jeans on fire with an acetylene torch--luckily the theater is built right on the edge of Lake Belvedere, so boot and all went with my foot into the lake. Amazingly, I wasn't burned, despite the flames licking my knee.
