Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

I just got back yesterday after another whirlwind visit to see my forum friends stateside. Needless to say I had a great time and saw quite a few Ricks which I'd like to share with you here. I also wanted to say thanks to everyone, John Hall for the invite to NAMM, all of my forum friends I got to hang out with in CA, Tony, J Dog (and Matt) for being perfect hosts in FL and last but not least....... Dave Pascoe for making 48 hours in Phily feel like a week's worth of fun! I'm glad to get back to work for a rest

NAMM highlights.................

Some more images of the RIC stand................

What makes NAMM special for me and the friends I get to hang out with there..................

On the Saturday morning I slipped away from NAMM and managed to get down to the World Guitar Show in OC to see what Ricks were there and there were quite a few. Here are the highlights.................

And some more..............

and just a few more............

And more............

Then after a few days relaxing in OC and a brief stop at the factory, it was off to Florida! I headed to the Orlando Guitar Show, where I got to hang out with John Minutaglio and his wife Juliet, J Dog, Kris and for a brief few minutes Steve Wood. The highlight of the show was Olivias who had some beautiful Ricks...............

And another............

Then it was off to Stuart to stay with Tony Cabibe and his lovely family. I can't say enough good things about the couple of days I spent there. I can't wait to return, but next time for a week or more!

After that it was off to Tampa where J Dog played host, with his friend Matt. I had a fantastic time there. Although I could have used a little more sleep!!! And I can't believe I don't have any pictures! I think I was too drunk for most of the time which was all J Dog's fault!! And on my last night, I hope there aren't any pictures!!!

It was great to hang out with J Dog, Matt, John M & Juliet and great to finally meet Andy Winter!

Then it was off to Philadelphia to see Dave Pascoe!! Dave had arranged dinner for Friday night when I arrived. He had booked an wonderful restaurant and had invited some friends; John Simmons, David McLaughlin, Chris and Shelby Clayton, his friends Jackie & Dave and of course Dave and Lisa were there!

Next day Dave, John Simmons, myself and David McLaughlin headed to check out a couple of guitar stores........
