I told Steve Cooper that now that he is turning 40 he will have to use flat wound strings, a mechanical mute, Ric-o-sound, and wear a sgt peppers uniform on stage ...

Jeff must be trying to decide which of his multitude of Rics he is going to give me as a b-day gift.

Jeff where and when are you throwing the party? LOL
By they way I got your email with the performance dates and I am going to try to make it next weekend if posible.

Hey Jeff - if all that's going to happen to Steve, you've got to tell us how you avoided "old Rick geezer syndrome". I do believe you're a tad past 40...

I just got tired of being retro ... I re-invented myself ... I became a modern rocker ... I sold all of my 60's and 70's basses ... and now I only play 5 strings ... Cooper helped convince me to try a 5 string bass so now I can return the favor by teasing him a little ...

Ken if you want to come and see my band the go to this page ...

Ken, if you're in the mood to party ALL weekend, my band is out next weekend also, at the US-12 in Wayne.

Maybe even worse he'll have to start playing in a modern cover band.

did you lose a bet?

wayang · Post by **wayang** » Fri Apr 15, 2005 7:27 am

Yeah...I once made a bet that the sixties would change things...

I got you beat ... I'm over 50 ... I plan to keep rocking as long as I can walk and hear ... the 60's were very cool ... a very important and transitional decade ...

Steve Cooper has an interesting announcement to make here soon ... I know but I can't say ...

wayang · Post by **wayang** » Fri Apr 15, 2005 8:14 am

Right on, Jeff! I don't walk or hear as well as I used to but the rocking is still intact (I don't mean in a chair, either)...

Every decade is what you make of it, regardless of what the world seems to be doing...Haight-Ashbury was cool, Khe Sahn was not. You know what I mean.

Looking forward to Steve's news...
