Hey Marc....since I am "Brain" I will start referring to you as "Mark".....not as dramatic but I like the "k" better.

John....I forgot to thank you for the legwork. Thanks for putting this all together.....I'm looking forward to a great time!

My only concern now is how to weld my room door shut when we go out for the evening so my Ric babies are safe.

John,

What are the requirements for the attendees? I'm not a great player and I only have 4 ordinary Ricks. I just have a great love for Ricks and noodling on them. Is this for serious players only? I'm about 50 miles east.

Jon

Dave: Thanks for asking, but if we do anything like that it will just be a 'pass the hat' or donation kind of thing....people will have fuel costs to worry with plus other expenses, and we're getting together to have fun. Officially, it's a 'no admission' event--but there is some expense involved, yes. A donation box or hat situation may work just fine I guess, but it will be totally voluntary. No worries guys.

Jon, just bring your Rickenbackers and have fun..come meet everybody. We're all 'noodlers', some just noodle at a different pace, LOL.

It will be a chance for everyone to hear Rickenbackers from all facets of the Hall era of the company; I do not know if anyone will bring any lap steels or pre-1954 Ricks or not. it would be cool if some showed up for sure.

Also be prepared, Jeffrey likes to play every fret of every bass there. So have your basses set up properly.

Jeff...what kind of strings do you like?

Jeff...how much are you charging for setting up basses at confluences now?
