Dammit, Tomcat, I'm a Plastic fabricator, Not a
diplomat! I'm not Mc Coy, I'm Jean Luc Pickguard.
And Yes, my 1st ed. of Rogans book Is signed by all 5 originals, plus Battin, York, Parsons[Gene],
Rick Roberts, Sneaky Pete Kleinow, J.D.Maness,
Herb Pedersen and John Jorgenson.
My meeting w/ Hillman in '88 when he signed it
was kind of funny; he was signing stuff at our state fair, and I hand him the book; "[me] Chris, you sign this for me?" "Sure, got a pen"?[takes one, then another lookat at it and says,"Ooooh,
THIS thing, huh?" Ohh, man!![looks irritated],then he regains his mock-lost composure
and says, "Oh, this is yours?,Never mind, here",
and he signs it.
As to the rest of your query, Terry, I guess
so far there is no law against impetuousness and unthinking.I say this Not as a slam against Anyone here, but with the abundant proliferation of Byrds and Rick info available on the net, a person is pretty much without excuse for not being enlightened about all these subjects, urban legend and other misinformation not withstanding.
If anyone is reading this, Please take the time to do a good overview of all the Forum topics, and
use the hyperlinks which can steer you to lots of good and interesting places.

Good story about Hillman, I bet he was thrilled.....I bet his face droped when you handed him that book, maybe you should have got his auto on a Byrds CD without Parsons on it, no Flying Burrito CDs, Desert Rose might have gotten you more time.....
by the way what is all that Nick Thiel vs. "Poshdemon/DjDxoxo" about, I like to see a good fight as much as the next post toasty, but I couldnt figure out what these two egomaniacs are fighting about??? I think I got that one of them is fat and ones gay out of it ???
I met McGuinn once, if anyone is interested...

Sure, tell us all about it. This is The Byrds Forum, a Tribal Gathering place where all Byrdmaniax hang out, grow their Mind Gardens, and bounce off the walls.

I have a question how are you guys posting those faces, I can do, 
.... 
but the other ones are a mystery.....
the FATRAT/McGuinn story is not that big a deal but I'll post it for the hardcores that are interested in it...
I alway thought it would be cool to meet Crosby, but he might shoot you if he got mad, I guess he has mellowed some????
Hillman seems like he would be cool???
I would have loved to hang out with Parsons, before he got stung out, but, I dont want to meet him now, maybe someday when Im over 90....
anyone else met those Byrds...

We're a rather artistic bunch over here on The Byrds Forum -- real hardcores.

To the best of my knowledge, neither Peter nor anyone else on The Rickenbacker Forum is board certified to provide that sort of help.

Oh, message board help. In that case, then Peter is most certainly "board certified" to render assistance.

Well, there's always the "Dr." and "Mark the MD"; so I guess the Forum is pretty well staffed after all, come to think of it.

I was thinking more along the lines of Lon Chaney, Man of a Thousand Faces (or aliases).

Thanks for taking the time to share that. Most interesting.

Whatever it is that small red emoticons smoke, I would imagine. "Herbal jazz cigarettes," perhaps.
