One of these two is a spaced out, drugged up, intoxicated throwback from the seventies. The other is Zeb, a really cool guy.

I'm just starting to catch up with myself after a hectic weekend. It was good to meet Richard Bengston and to meet up with Randy again. Mr and Mrs X flew down for the show to meet up with us (I had a really clear photo of Mr X to post here but seem to have accidently deleted it from the SD card - doh!). A fantastic weekend was had by all. I saw only two lefty Rics though, one was a really pretty 360/6 which I was keen to buy but the owner wouldn't sell (would you R.C.?) the other was a well beaten autumnglo 4001 which was up for $1800 on the Friday and $1999 Saturday and Sunday. Needless to say I gave it a miss.

I never tire of seeing Graham's "goofball" expression when he poses for these kinds of photos! Image

It seems to arise whenever there's the combination of a camera around and a beer in his hand!

Yeah Howard, but never mind, I managed to pick up a couple of nice Les Pauls and a good Strat.

They must have thought that I was some kind of sucker, because I was offered the same Strat for a $100K.

I agree, Darren.....here's one of my favorites of Graham in said pose that you took at the Museum that Saturday night at the 75th! Image
