Nope and I am older than dirt................ You must have been around when the angels sung.

Nah, it's one of those you learn about in school. You should look it up, Brian. It's one of Brando's best roles.


"I coulda been somebody. I coulda been a contender"

One other important role that this forum plays, and that has dawned on me only after some many postings. I have in the RRF a kind of public journal, a record of my interests, my conversation and movements over time. If anybody is interested later on in an artist who loved Rickenbacker guitars they can find it in my postings. I feel safe that the public side of my journals (re: music, humor and ricks) will be nicely archived for posterity, unless Gil and Peter run out of space for all this nonsense down the road sometime

Kira, you've got intelligence, heart, and soul, and you express all three in your contributions here. We are much richer for your presence and contributions.

I'll second that emotion, if I may.

Now if I was only good looking ...
