The final batch of pics from the finale ...

Check out the yellow surprise Joey borrowed from Scotty for doing The Smithereen's "Blood and Roses" ! 8) (**Caution -- Non Ric content **).

And we followed the Mini Con tradition of polishing off a fine day's jammin :D with a rockin rendition of "I Saw Her Standing There" for the finale ! It was great day of Ricken-fun ... special thanks and a warm welcome to our new participants Steve and Tom.

Greg, Paul S and Alberto did a great job on the drums and very special thank you to Paul A. 8) who makes it all happen !!

I second everything Rich said. Quite fun.

Paul's matching Chuck T's and the Big Red were awesome!

That Kubicki Ex-Factor Bass of Scott's is pretty cool! Not the first time I've played it.

Gary & Rich, thanks for posting those pics!

Collin -- can you clarify about your Maple Glo model --- It looks like Toasters, Dot Fret markers, R Tailpiece and 21 Frets ... but no Whammy Bar and no Binding; No third pickup .

Isn't that a 330 :? :?:
