Just guesswork here... Amen Corner is part of the famous Augusta golf course, and "I'm in the amen corner now" is a line in Almost Gothic, so I'm assuming that's a connection there.

@cjbrayshaw - Vancouver? Bookstore? do tell....or is that "do till?' or is that "from here till eternity?" etc. Seriously, what neighbourhood?

You both have made my day! Thank you for the reassurance.

Somehow I don't believe your description of yourself, lol! Next you'll be selling me a bridge! But you made me laugh, and I thank you for that! Count me in for the First Annual Becker Fest! Sunday was so much fun. Let's all "Do It Again!"

I'll second that. It's a beauty. Nice lighting, Nice perspective.

My guitar picks just remind me I suck at playing guitar. LOL

see above...

That's an SD curtain, so...🙊 ... unless you're volunteerng to cover my lawyers' bills...?

Hi All -- sure there's a story behind that cover. Living in a causal universe as we do — or as most people think we do — there's always an attribution for an outcome. Unfortunately the story of this one is pretty boring. Nobody we know cast the shadows. We do not know the terrain and it is no place special or significant (I’d think endless rural U.S. roads could look like this). We did try to fool around with the sky, at the horizon, a bit. Fool with the color, deepen it or try to add a tiny glow of sickly purple just above the bushes….as though there might be something not-good happening over there, something that our watchful heroes should know about. But — try as we might, we never came up with anything that showed much of a difference. There just wasn’t enough sky to work with. So we used a purplish shadow between the grass and gravel, sharpened up all the colors a bit, Carol Boboltz did the typography and package and…Bob’s Yer Uncle. Funky colors or not, our 2 were on watch. See? boring. Maybe more on the rest sometime later

Hey cjbrayshaw - that's one hell of a trek. Did you walk through a tunnel? lol. I can't stand the tension, itching to know how TIMB strikes people because, as I've said, it's such a one-off and, um, Audiophiliacly challenged (?). I'm eager to know if people think the trade-off is worth it. I even started a thread... https://www.walterbeckermedia.com/forum/rarities-unreleased/this-is-my-building

@hourstuff - yup, those are THE two picks I donated a few of to be used as prizes — the only two commissioned/co-designed by Walter himself in the latter SD era that I know about. Quite handsome if I do say so myself for a no-color standard material functional pick. I’ve found only a few lying around, maybe I’ll find a stash in a gig bag or somewhere. I think they're nice enough designs to justify another run (other opinions on designs?) but they would be low-octane in my sights because they’re not original “first editions” or something, and of course never physically used, cf well-worn first runs. On the other hand the designs *were* directed by WB and how he wanted them to look . Enthusiasts: is that how it goes? Does one set of them get an asterisk or something? Or are pick collectors just not that insane?

I really like what you wrote, M. "tattered scrim" - indeed. It's as though he spent so much time looking at it, peering into it, or just plain knowing of it, that it just pulled him straight through, one too-early day.
