The Magic Bus is the ONLY mobile audio system in the world extensively autographed by famous and important musicians, recording engineers, loudspeaker designers, and audio electronics gurus, and is a "rolling shrine" that honors these individuals who enrich our lives with beautiful sound.
The Magic Bus pays homage to those who have left us, including Mundell Lowe, Chuck Loeb, Lou Fanucci, Frank LaMarca, Shep Meyers, Daniel Jackson, Gary LeFebvre, Joe Marillo, and Ralph Penland, to name a few. Jon Whitledge knew many of these musicians personally, and misses them dearly.
Many people ask, "Who was the first person to autograph the 'Bus?" It was Noel Jewkes on March 11, 2007.
