Congratulations, Craig! Hope this brings lots of good things to you, our hard-working mentor.
Tell us later how this might effect your other activities in which we have an interest. But for now, you need to sign up for that 401(k)!

Well, unfortunately I've tendered my resignation to Harmony Central, and given 90 days notice. But it is totally amicable. The basic reaction was "You'd be crazy to pass that up." Besides, we have a great team in place and I've made suggestions on a transition plan that would strengthen our team even further.
Ideally, it will be a Peter Gabriel-leaves-Genesis kind of thing where Gabriel went on to have a cool solo career, and Genesis went on to have hit after hit after hit.
I will still be writing articles, doing lectures, and performing. In fact that's part of my job description, so I'll still be executive editor of EM, contributing to Sound on Sound, etc. Working with Gibson is extremely demanding, but also gratifying. I've consulted to the company on and off for seven years, and they've been some of the most exciting projects I've ever worked on. So when I was made an offer I couldn't refuse, I already had connections in the company and worked with many of the teams there.
Of course, the first question Phil asked was "do they have employee discounts?" 
I'm at a stage of my life where being offered an opportunity to make a real difference before I shuffle off is very appealing.
It's going to be a wild ride, but I like wild rides.
Thanks for all the good wishes.
