Why a 48-star flag on the wall?

That's a good question, and I have no idea what the answer is. I hadn't noticed that myself until a friend pointed it out once I posted the pics on my Facebook page.

We have a 48 star flag!

Sarah: Here is another review of someone's Ricky. You are not alone.

Ricky

During an old interview of his Rickenbacker bass Cliff Burton commented

CLIFF: The Ricky needs some work. I had an Alembic for a while,which I was very happy with until it was STOLEN!!! If anyone out there comes across a black spoiler bass with a fair-sized chip in the back finish,up around the side of the peg head,it very well might be mine,so...just send it to me.

Yeah..... take no notice of the stirrers, Sarah. 'Ricky' is used worldwide and whilst it may irk some it's used as a term of endearment for a Rickenbacker by a heck of a lot of people!

It's like me objecting to being called 'Howie'.... if I did it would be a constant battle!!

But being called 'Harold' is an entirely different story...... grrrr!!!!

Oh, Haroldy!!!

Smartypants!!!

I once knew a sheep named Harold...

Lighten up, Harold!

I'm trying, Joan!!!

Oh guys, I am sorry. I didn't mean to stir the Ricky thing again and I didn't really intend it to be taken too seriously. I was teasing Paul W a tad and perhaps it was poor taste in retrospect. I promise I am not going to have a meltdown again and I should apologise to Paul W for being thoughtless.

Sorry Paul, nothing mean or whiney intended.

Sarah, I read the initial post, knew you were poking fun, had a chuckle, and moved on. No apology necessary; thanks for the laugh!

Yeah, we all loved the light-hearted jab!

Ah, thank you. Glad no-one was upset.

Thanks for the link Peter. Interesting read.
