It may not be a Ric, but this one is the most memorable for me. Thanks for sharing, Jeff

Next time, we'll know to stay overnight!

Graham doesn't feel very well this morning because he got really drunk last night!

Graham?!? Drunk?!? No way!! "Graham' and "drunk" don't belong in the same sentence!!

Wow! What can I say? Donna and I will be attending more confluences, that's for certain!

Jim, feel free to join us for the SoCal confluence in August!

I'm glad you guys are having such a great time.
Congrats to Jeffrey Scott for the successful RIO confluence!

I wish I was there.

Great photos everyone....But I wonder if the gathering should have been named MR. BIO*

*Mostly RIC Basses in Ohio

I'm still wiping the drool off my chin... Plus, it was great meeting everybody. Next time I'll make sure I don't have a gig on the same day. And Peter, I've instructed my wife to never open the door for left-handed Englishmen.

Take it easy,
Steve

Ha! Truth is, although it was mostly basses, there was a nice assortment of non Rics and non basses as well. But I do believe the basses stole the show!

So you'd let the wife open the door for Graham, but not Peter!

Well, yeah. But only if he had that '59 4000 with him.

Graham: You gave me your absolute word that you were going to drink nothing but sarsaparilla at RIO, so I assume that's what's in the glass, mate! Big effort getting drunk on that stuff...........

[melibreits]

Looks like a great time.... Sure wish we didn't have so much going on this summer, so I could be there!

BTW, I love the Sea Green Rics.

I'm glad a good time was had by all.

I would have loved to attend, but as usual, "life" got in the way once again...It is always good to see everyone get together and bond (insert the word 'drink' here for Graham )......and lots of beautiful Rickenbackers in the pics.

My first confluence and all I can say is WHAT A HOOT!!!!

It was great meeting some of the forumites and drooling over all the gear...thanks everyone for something I'll never forget.

And a special thank-you to Dr. Jeff for adjusting my nut!

Now I must sleep...last night ended far too late and the wake up call for the drive home was obnoxiously early.

Wow! What can I say? Donna and I will be attending more confluences, that's for certain! It was great meeting everyone and getting a chance to play some of the greatest guitars ever made. Here's the best shots from Donna's camera:

Now, that's what I call a great group shot! It looks like that everyone had a great time, and I really do wish that I was there instead of working. Kudos to Jeff for getting this event together.
