Buxom Posted September 25, 2012 Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 I think I'll always cherish my copy of Pokemon Emerald. A friend of mine had always had some medical issues, but nobody expected him to go as soon as 8th grade. We traded Pokemon on the bus a couple times, but mainly battled. I'll always have his Regice and Golem, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocketman Posted September 26, 2012 Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 Two things. My '81 Gibson Sonex-180 Custom. That guitar and me have been through more gigs than I can count. Also, my Steinway piano. My great-uncle opened the first four star restaurant in Buffalo. He was a local celebrity too. Turns out he gave Liberace his first job! Liberace never forgot about that. Every time he came to Buffalo he would come to my great-uncle's condo and play a private concert on that piano. It's now mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon S. Posted September 26, 2012 Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 My mom's old NME classical guitar. Nothing real special or valuable about the guitar itself, and I haven't even played it over a decade, but it'd never get rid of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sucks. :( Pokemon, as an idea, a show, and a symbol has a meaning to me. It's one of the few things I can relate to my grandpa. He used to watch it after school with my brother and I when we were little. He's been gone for almost 12 years now and I can remember some things like they were yesterday. Pokemon was probably one of the few things I had growing up. Those games are just full of memories. They're priceless to me. I'm going to stop because I'm getting teary eyed, but you get the point. I love Pokemon, and always will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonzoboy Posted September 26, 2012 Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 About 3 years ago,after I bought my '65 John Lennon Casino and Epi John Lennon EJ-160-E,I sent a letter to Yoko Ono thanking her for letting the people at Epiphone create an exact copy of John's favourite guitars and also went on to say that John was the main reason that I bacame a musician and how much he influenced my life and still does.I didn't in my wildest dreams expect a reply but a few weeks later I received a letter from Studio 1 in NYC and thought it was a reply for some info I was looking for from a music store.When I opened the envelope I was amazed to see that it was from Yoko along with a picture of her and John at the Montréal Bed-In for Peace.The picture was signed by Yoko in her own hand saying: "To Derek,Love Yoko" I was just floored that such a busy woman would take time out of her busy day to answer a letter from a musician who was influenced by and dearly loved her husband like one would an older brother. That autographed picture and note saying how she was touched by how much I loved John and my "kind words" about him,has the greatest sentimental value to me-along with my 1965 John Lennon Epi of course.My '65 "L" series Strat is also at the top of the heap. BTW there was a cover letter from her P.A. apologizing for the tardy reply and explaining that it took so long because Yoko was out of the country and she insists on answering all her correspondence in her own hand.

badbluesplayer Posted September 26, 2012 Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 I don't keep much, but I have some sports trophies, a couple from high school soccer including some medal from a state championship game, a state slalom skiing trophy, and some mountain biking medals. I have a few pictures, but I think I must have thrown most of them out. Like my mother said once, we didn't want any evidence left over from our family. That's why my parents didn't have any pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

btoth76 Posted September 26, 2012 Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 Hello Friends! Oh, too many to list! Some of these: a 1 rubel coin of pure silver from 1980s with portrait of Musorgsky - it reminds me of the 6 years I've spent in Moscow. My Greatfather's harmonium, Granddad's tuner pipe. My Grandad's brother's documents of Knighthood (Vitézi Rend). These are probably the things with the most sentimental value for me. Cheers...

ShredAstaire Posted September 26, 2012 Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 I'm not really a sentimental guy...i've been thinking about this thread since it went up and I think about the only thingss that I am sentimental about are my family pics and a short story my dad wrote about his own life and gave it to my brother and I when we were around 20. Man I cried a lot reading that...I didn't know how tough a life he had til I read that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVOL! Posted September 26, 2012 Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 Do you still have your C64? No. That was like 25 years ago. Even if I did still have it, you couldn't afford it. You'd have to pay me what I think it's worth ($$$$$$$) plus international shipping from the States to Oz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
