Andy R Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 Worked with Dimebag when I worked for Dean guitars and remained friends through the years until his death. So I guess that would be 0 degrees? or 1 hmmm not sure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChanMan Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 I went to school with several children of country music stars. Minnie Pearl was a family friend... "Fiddlin" Arthur Smith is a relative... My folks were on a first name basis with the Oak Ridge Boys... ate dinner at Malard's in Hendersonville frequently. I'd say if just meeting someone makes one "one degree from legend", that would qualify me as a veritable god. However, I think the premise is flawed. Want to be a legend? Do something legendary.

ksdaddy Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 Umm... many stretches here but: Owned a Hofner Beatle Bass that was owned by Marshall Crenshaw. Bought it from a Brit who played the Cavern Club around the same time another certain UK quartet played there. Owned a Tele Thinline that was owned by Narvel Felts. Worked on a blonde ES-5 that was being used in the (then current) incarnation of Bill Haley's Comets. Gave an old Goya electric to David Lindley. A Hofner Committee I owned ended up on the cover of Elektro-Gitarren Made in Germany. The elaborate headstock with the mismatched G string post is mine. The back is the birdseye maple one towards the left. And I'm friends with Laraine Newman. Well, she hasn't gotten a restraining order yet anyway.
