Thanks to Stephen VK2BLQ for alerting us to this. That is Jac Holzman of Elektra Records fame, pictured in a recent article in Rolling Stone:
The Rolling Stone caption says he is in his “home studio,” but we recognize it clearly as a ham shack.
Here is another article about Jac:
ARRL reports that his callsign was K2VEH.
Hey, Pete plays guitar. So does Farhan. Should we have our people call Jac’s people? Maybe do lunch?
Musicality is a natural subset of Ham skills. The cadence/rhythm of CW, digital dexterity (key/bug), ability to discern adjacent CW signals and ‘fists’ and skilful entertaining repartee naturally lead to music – and dance! What’s your forte, Bill? a decent voice? drums? keyboards? lyrics? 73 de ZL2DEX
I must be the exception. I have no musical ability. I joined a chorus while in a rather grueling army training program — they offered juice and cookies after the service. They told me I could have the goodies, but asked that I just lip synch and make no attempt at singing.
Oh dear, Bill. Sadness. But here’s one for ‘Pasta Pete’: that parody on “Old Smokey”, “On top of spaghetti”. 🙂
