I am so EXCITED! McCain hits a BIG TIME homerun with VP pick.

Hello Everyone,

Thanks or stopping by. Well, if you are liberal, conservative, independent, moderate, or whatever you cannot fault Senator McCain today. I am so excited about his VP pick. Sarah Palin is just a wonderful person, certainly much better than the "politics as usual" crowd deserves. This is one smart lady. She is also a perfect choice for the Republican base which has been dying for some conservative infusion.

I could spend much time trying to convey the story behind the Alaska Governor, but I have a better suggestion, read the following web page. Sarah Palin just gave her acceptance speech. It is a doooo-sey! Simply Great!

Alaska Governor Sarah Palin accepts VP position.

Once you have read her speech you will see exactly what I am talking about. This lady is intelligent, bright, tough, and cool! Heck, I am ready to vote for her as the NEXT President of the United States, right after President John McCain of course.

Take Care,
Bob

Ooops! I just have to say something juicy about Obama's VP choice.

Well, I have been sitting all week listening to politics in the United States. I don't normally comment on such things, but this is just too good to pass on.

OBAMA picks Biden as VP pick!

LOL: What a joke! I know Obama has issues but this time I really see a lack of experience when making rational decisions. I mean give me a break. The Democrats are preaching such CHANGE. Yet Biden represents one of the oldest dogs in the Democratic arsenal. For 35 years Biden has preached hard-line liberalism. Two times he has run for President where he received some of lowest vote percentages possible. The truth be known, Obama (and Pelosi) really dumped on Clinton. I was really worried about a possible Obama/Clinton ticket.

But now I am so happy. I feel Obama made a big mistake. I will bet a lot of the Clinton voters and Independents feel the same way. Many of them just fell off the fence. They will now vote for McCain.

Things are looking up. My business has been very good the last 4-years because of low taxes and a stable economy. I would like things to stay that way.

Just MY opinion!

Thanks for stopping by,
Bob Campbell

Topsax News Flash, Thailand is in our future!

I had the recent pleasure of meeting a young man in Thailand. He is very interested in representing the Topsax(tm) Legend products there. His name is Erich. He is an American that has lived in Thailand for the past 8 years. As time allows I will share more information about Erich.

The interesting point he made is that "Paul Mariat" is a well accepted name in Thailand. Well that is good news for the Legend. The Mariat saxophone is actually a copy from the original molds developed by our parent factory in Taiwan. Now the Mariat folks well tell you different stories but the truth is we started making saxophones in Taiwan over 45 years ago. We later moved the parent factory to China but still maintain one of the largest Trading Partners in Taiwan.

Anyway, we are going to introduce the Legend into Thailand. It is going to be interesting when someone says, "this horn looks like the Paul Mariat." We are going to respond: "No, the Paul Mariat looks like the Legend Series IV." After all we started offering the DOUBLE ARMS option about 5 years ago. I think Mariat introduced their Double Arms model about 2 years ago. The Legend has had the Reference 54 "Patina Matte" finish for almost 5 years now. Now I think every Taiwan factory (including Mariat) is offering some type of matte finish.

I can't wait to get the very first Legend Alto into Thailand. If everything goes well I will be shipping this horn in about 4 to 5 days.

Now, you have the latest Topsax news!

Interesting tidbit for the day: China at first glance seems to be a young nation. I see young people everywhere (unlike the United States). But the interesting fact is that China has a huge social issue brewing. They have the largest population in the world that will be reaching retirement age within the next couple of decades. Certainly is fruit for thought. Bob C.

This is CRAZY Soprano Week!

This past week was crazy on eBay. I rarely list Sopranos on eBay just because I don't normally get a lot of surplus (soprano) stock from the factory. I do sell a lot of custom order Sopranos however.

Anyway, I had (2) really nice Series IV Sopranos I listed on eBay. They didn't last 3 days. I guess I need to get more sopranos ordered for my eBay sales. LOL

Many thanks to Jean Gram in Illinois (an old customer) that wanted a Soprano for her son who already owns a Topsax Alto. A brand new customer arrived on the scene from Tennessee. His name is Johnnie Fritts. He purchased the other Series IV Soprano. Thanks John for your business. Both customers should have their saxophones in a couple of days.

And finally, my good friend Karel in Belgium has been patiently waiting for me to finish up a Gold Plated Saxello. It will ship tomorrow. Super, Super nice saxophone.. ALL the bells and whistles. Thanks Karel.

Okay, enough! But that's why I named this article "Crazy Soprano Week."

My Maiden Voyage on Blogspot

This is my first blog. I am hoping to make this fun and enjoyable for everyone. I like to write. Being able to communicate with people has served me well over the years. Email is King in my business. SKYPE is even better.

I live 10,000 miles away from most USA folks that buy my saxophones, but every sale seems like a delivery next door. The age of the Internet is here. With eBay, PayPal, and the Web anything is possible.

Don't forget DHL Express and the United States Post Office. Most of my saxophones are shipped direct from the factory by DHL. Service is FAST and smooth (usually 3 to 4 days). Many of my accessory items are shipped from my USA location by USPS Priority or Express Mail.

I have lots more to tell you but lets save more for the next post.
