I just made a phone call to my trusted old speaker tech/reconer
John Harrison and was informed by his business partner Thom with shocking news that he had past away in his sleep earlier in the week. I have done business with John for a few decades. This is truly SAD ______. He was only 3 years older then me.

Sad news. I too knew John. The hemp cone Tone Tubby speakers he developed are fine speakers used by Santana, among many others. John was a character and I enjoyed hanging with him when I found myself in his shop.

May the four winds blow you safely home.

Bill, tgo
