When you think about it, it is no wonder Fenton has led such an interesting life and created so many of the bass lines we copy and enjoy today. His father, Philo, was no slouch, so Fenton came from good stock, and the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

Check out his dad at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philo_Farnsworth

If you'll notice, Philo dropped the J from his name, he wanted to sound less Nordic. Fenton took it back when he wqas on a "self discovery trip", and he's been on it ever since.

And a lot of you thought Fenton just was a product of my over active imagination!

Which he used to power the top secret active electronics processor, originally designed for NASA, he had imbedded by the FCS, in his new FF signature jazz. It's ready to play but he is still waiting approval from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

So that's what he was talking about. he gets distracted easily and it's hard some times to really understand him.

Sometimes he just goes off speaking in ancient Hebrew

I think Fjenton may have invented the Dioscillator. Any way he once cut off his left elbow just to prove it would grow back, And it did. He's like that you know. Stuff grows back on him.

Just when I thought I was out.....they pull me back in.

Fenton's Uncle Richard's info just popped up. Might explain the disguises and acting ability.

So where is Fenton Farjnsworth ? I don't believe he even exists even if I can't spell exists. But I can. And BTW sorry about the P nut butter and Jelly thing. That topic bombed. A failed attempt . One thing that does mess with the sound of my bass is me. So that's all I know friends. I think I may have to take a break from this site for a bit (Much to maybe some peoples liking). I'm getting boring. But just think... you are not. Okay I'll be back in a few hours.. Bye. :D

Yeah it's getting boring, wait, it's been boring. Seems we go through periods like these.

Fenton DOE'S exist! Don't you remember when he helped you fix your riding lawnmower? He told you the joke about the chicken and the plumber.
