An additional thanks to my friend Mason's cousin Steve Trivoli for shoing up, playing some percussion, guitar (lefty 350 V64!), and lead vocals. Steve played with the Blasters at one point in the early days. :D Thanks Steve, hoep to se you at the next minicon!!! :D

Thank you again! Great job. It's been a long time since I had so much fun. Next time, I'll let my wife chauffeur me!
What a great bunch of folks in this group. Thanks to all who made it a success.

It's the cool people on this Forum that make it all happen !

Now if only we had helped you drink your beers faster -- and empty that cooler -- the whole 'lost key' thing could have been avoided. :mrgreen:

....And lastly, this fine rendering from the Byrds Collective. I always think of this song as the quintessential jingle-jangle 12-string tune.... How perfect for a gathering of Ric-lovers!

I just realized why rock bands never have music stands up on stage. :lol:


It really truly kills every shot, from any angle.....of anybody up there playing. :wink:

I almost took them off the stage for the surf band and byrds collective sets. I should have. We barely used them this time anyway. The guys are starting to get really good at reading off each others' fretboards.

Maybe Tele-Prompters for the 10 or so songs that we need a chord chart or lyrics sheet for ??? :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

BTW, all those music stands were there on stage already, when I arrived right before Noon.
The Backline crew member must have set them up.
But you guys are right, we had way too many ....
