Christmas Confluencing in So Cal

Post by 8mileshigher »

A little Christmas get-together Saturday evening for cocktails and wine at Dano's followed by dinner at Claim Jumper. :)
Santa Claus arrived early in Costa Mesa as a Larry Davis re-finish project just arrived and Dano let us in on a little secret :wink: he recently picked up, just stopping by a GC, on his way home from work.....

Here's the other surprise ... a John Kay Limited Edition that was hanging on the used gear wall at a GC that Dano stopped by .... nobody would believe  the low price he got this beauty for !!!  Obviously the GC folks don't know the value/prices on Rics !

Had to get a picture of these great guitar storage cabinets that Jennifer constructed for the music room.  Keeps 'em out of sight but handy for quick access when Ric enthusiasts arrive

Dano, is "Danotron" on the forum here and at the RIC forum. IIRC he's been a member since `07 or `08, so you haven't met him, or me in person, since we joined about the same time, IIRC.

Paulie, how did you not meet PB? You where both at SCARF '07.

Ya know? There are actually times I wish I still lived in So. Cal...
I have NO idea what to do with those skinny stringed things... I'm just a bass player...

Oh, I probably did; I think I introduced myself or was introduced to most everyone. I brand new to the bunch then though, so that day was a complete fusillade of introductions-met a lot of people that day! :D

Sure, I met Paul. But I still don't know who "Dano" is. Is there a real name I can perhaps relate to in the future? :?
