Eh... looks like it is going to be mine, Tony... but only in the summer... no chance i get "over there" or my mum gets "over here" any earlier...
Brian... the only thing that's for sure is... mmm... i'm a wee bit drunk at the moment... Image

I'd be hoisting a beer or two as well, so I don't blame you for being a bit tipsy. I wonder if this will be the first Ric in Russia?

You could be making history as well as making great music with one of the worlds greatest instruments. LOL

I am very happy for you Sheena.

Huh... it won't be the first one, that's for sure, since i've seen some in a music store and the shop assistant told me they're sold "in a blink of an eye". I know of a guy here who's really dedicated to his RIC bass, but his name escapes me somehow... maybe i'll manage to remember in the morning... oh wait... Granovsky... Alic or Alex?.. Can't remember...
Great music? Huh. Not me, indeed... my singing is always accompanied by March cats only, and my guitar skills... well... there are some reasons why i'll never become a great guitarist, but i wouldn't tell the story here - it's a bit too sad... but, on the other hand, most of my friends here appreciate my songwriting skills, so maybe i still have a chance to become a "too-old-for-a-start" star... Image
3:18 am... time to go to bed, indeed...

Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy! I'm excited!! Image

Great news, Sheena...one's first Rick is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Thank you for sharing it with us.

When it arrives to Berkeley, Tony...
Aww... lovely... thank you all, lady&gentlemen!
Bob, i'll try to work it out, but... well, it wouldn't be easy, not sure if i succeed.
And yeah... as one of my friends says, "You guys will always find a good reason for having a beer or two..." No offence meant, of course... you're all so coooooool! Image
