      1. Totally, one of them needs to be at the bunker. Another at an undisclosed safe-house. Last one, can fly freely as they wish.

  1. Is Sweetwater a money laundering operation or something? I didn’t realize they made enough $$$ to spend on private jets.

    1. They’re the one big music retailer that seems to have their act together.

      Also, when you get to be their size and you’re in Fort Wayne, having your own planes is probably a necessity.

  2. At first I thought: “Tempest sells well!”, but it’s Sweetwater’s private jet…huge amount of money in music business , not for musicians though, and not for gear makers…fly me to the Moog !

  3. They were all totally awesome!!! Great event! Yes, they shouldn’t fly together, they are all irreplaceable. It was so great meeting them. They are the only true synth makers on the planet!!!
