For all you guitarists out there, especially if you have been here all 4 days, here's some trivia for you.

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/05/25/obituaries/glenn-snoddy-96-accidental-inventor-of-the-fuzz-tone-dies.html

This is the link to the obit of Glenn Snoddy. He is generally credited for inventing the fuzz box that we've been using since the 1960's. Seems an amplifier malfunction on a Marty Robbins recording led to the "discovery".
He was a sound engineer in Nashville, and in the late 60's opened up a recording studio called Woodland Sound. This was the studio where the first, Will the Circle Be Unbroken" album was recorded.
 Cheers
