Final batch of pics from the Pre Jam practice ... worked on a few Surf tunes; ran through Melibee and Howard's tune "Can't Let Go" and the usual batch of MIni Con classic rock and roll tunes .... Yardbirds, Tom Petty, R.E.M., Travelling Wilburys, The Cars, etc.

Many thanks to Gary for the use of Clauson Studios ... a mighty fine jam room,

with enough amps and gear on hand to sink a battleship !!

Wish you were here !

The question is - would he ever miss it amoung the vast mass of Rickengear he has?

The answer is - of course - and so would I if I ever visited again - what a great bass.

Thanks for having us over Gary - a great time indeed!

So are you guys bringing Chord sheets for the new songs to the jam?

I'll bring my usual jam binder, complete Beatles, Petty and the old London Stones catalog.

I'm gettin' psyched! Just rolled the Showman out to the Explorer. I sure hope those girls from the topless bar are there to help unload in the morning. I'm too old for this!
See ya' tomorrow.

Thanks for posting the pictures, Rich! One correction, though ... my six-string is a 400 series model 460, not a 600 series. Same body shape, of course.

It was great to practice with Ross, Paul, and Rich. See everyone tomorrow!

Ooooops !!
