  1. No, I didn't write the book, it was written by a guy named Bruce Tahsler, it's titled "The San Francisco East Bay Scene: Garage Bands From the '60's Then and Now"

    I was interviewed for it, (like MANY other guys from back then). Was your friend a musician back then?

  3. Cook....did you get your mamary in a ringer too? I talked to Dennis, and I guess it started pretty mild and got ugly! (the Pot photos)

  4. Dennis, did you get suspended?

    'Cause of the pop photos?

  5. Yes, I knew Frank in high school. I know he left the band at some point, came back, then got really sick, (drugs), had a liver transplant and is now back again. There was a guy names Chester Thompson in TOP at one point, but I don't know what he played. I haven't spoken to Frank (Rocco), in years, but I talk to Mimi Castillo from time to time, (also went to high school with him).

  6. I thought you'd seen photos of my DIF...I'll post a photo in your thread about favorite guitars.

  7. Let's hope you can get away! We're going to have a blast..... it's one day only.

    (I never know where to post these messages!)

  8. Wonder why that thread got locked? Ya'd think Gibson would want everyone to be aware of fakes!

  9. Wiley, I've seen them as low as $3K, but I think a fair price is more like $3500.

    Do you have pics?

  10. Yeah... I'm sure you're right.... I'm certainly not going to sweat it, (and I'm pretty sure you aren't either)

  11. "middle aged, married Lotharios on this board "

    I think Jerry K is talkin' about ME!

    HAHAHAHAhahahaha............

  12. You've never made a mistake? I build VERY complex vehicles, (more so that you would believe), and we are the largest manufacturer in the US in our industry. The QA Manager reports to me. I feel we build the best vehicle in the industry, hand down. Do some of our new vehicles get out of here with defects? Yes. I feel a company's reputation shouldn't be judged on a few mistakes people find, but what they do about it. I have every acoustic guitar I own set up by my luthier. It's cheap and he knows how I like 'em. I just bought a new H'Bird, (built April, 2011), and the guitar is virtually perfect. I haven't had it to my luthier's shop yet..... doesn't need it. Doesn't mean Gibson people don't make mistakes, but does mean making a blanket statement that their quality is crap is unfair. (JUST my humble opinion)
  13. I would like to do something NEXT May. Summer is too hot at my house, (I don't have the great shade trees that Fred has), and October is very full for me. Maybe we can get together and jam some on a weekend!

  14. It WAS fun.... 'course I'm ready to play guitar at the drop of a hat.

  15. Was invited to a party last Saturday and asked to bring my guitar. Another guy who had a beautiful Herringbone D-28 was there, and we played for an hour or so.... very fun!!

  16. Not far at all..... I know Silver Maple Drive well.

  17. HA! Ya know, I STILL only play the DIF in shirts without buttons..... and only sweat pants... still have zero scuffs, etc! I doubt I'd bring it over to Spain, (Spain, by the way, has always been first on my list of European countries to visit).

  18. Do you? Where abouts are you? I'm right off El Pintado, (on the east side of 680).

  19. Dave, my reall name is Bob. I live in Danville, CA, (that's how I ended up with that email address!

    One day I'll visit Spain, maybe we can play some music together.

    Congratz on having such a beautiful place to hang your hat!

  20. GT, great song.... made me think of my old friend who just died. He was living in Montana. Thanks for bringing his memory back to me. Bob http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fiAVIprxKoA
  21. VERY nice. Do you have something I can run my audio through that will give me a pleasing voice, like yours? (nice guitar.... too bad we couldn't see more of it!) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VPws4AwJ4iM
  22. I was just funnin' ya. Great style, you have the perfect voice for that kind of stuff..... why not post "This Masquerade"? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6f6mzIuP44A
  23. Nice job! (Video was kinda fuzzy though).
  24. Well, Wily was right.... once I uploaded the video to YouTube, the audio and video are sync'd! I'll have to post some of the others I have there too. Thanx Wily. Bob http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0QXH_vMS0lM
