If, like me, you spend hours of your life reading the eBay synth section, you may have come across some auctions bearing the mysterious message "Owned by Bill Leeb!". For some reason, I'd decided that Bill Leeb was that guy who plays synths on the Letterman show, but never given it much thought. Fortunately, MT reader Jason is more inquisitive than me (and equally ill-informed), so he posted the seller a question: "Who's Bill Leeb?". This is what came back:
Turns out he's in Front Line Assembly, so apologies if you're a fan. (The guy from Letterman is Paul Schaffer, so I'm not sure where I got that idea from). Anyway, Bill is currently selling loads of cool synths, including a Matrix 12, and an Oscar. And of course, the great thing about eBay is that all your recent purchases are visible, so we can discover that, since the end of January, Bill has been buying a load of Jilly Cooper novels: Rivals (two copies), Score, The Man Who Made Husbands Jealous, and Appassionata ("...She finds it increasingly difficult to pretend she is not madly attracted to the fatally glamorous horn player, Viking O’Neill")
Update: Jason isn't the only person to ask this question: More Leeb here
