Sorry to disappoint, Ben. Nothing that exciting, I'm afraid.......

Aitch, Congratulations mate! Thanks for your input into this wonderful place and for your friendship.

Who would have thought that your involvement in the the Forum would have resulted in the trip of a lifetime you are about to undertake? I can't wait to catch up with you half a world away in Santa Ana.

John W, how could you have missed the opportunity to include a photo of a tasty vintage Rickenbacker for post number 1960?

Congrats on 5000 Aitch I won't ask if you have a life, since I already know the answer.

I am looking forward to the other countdown as well. We have a song to record, a town to conquer, a small Province to locate a suitable establishment of renown in and a million songs and stories to swap and we will probably check out the shops to see what instruments are available that might want to follow you home. Sounds like a fun time to me.

Bird watching is a great sport here in paradise too Aitch.

Hear, hear Howard! (Tomorrow) I shall open my single can of Victoria Bitter to celebrate. Ahh...the days when Howard owned but one humble Rickenbacker.

5000 posts! Huzzah! Just another example of the loyalty and intense feelings these fine Rickenbacker instruments inspire!
