Great pictures and it looks like fun was had by all. Just wish I could have been there. BTW, Darren, care to explain the third frame in Frank's slideshow?

Frank that was great. Thanks for taking the time to share those pictures with us. Whoever took the pics needs a round of applause. They did a fantastic job.

I second that...... all fantastic pics!

I've responded to the emails sent around but for some reason Hotmail keeps rejecting me (story of my life?

), so I'll say thanks to all publicly here - it was a fantastic day topped off by watching Darren and his Capri mix it with the blues band - awesome!!

Special thanks to Darren in particular for arranging the venue for the jam and looking after the transport and storage of my Ricks.

We had a quiet one yesterday - took it easy and watched Geelong defeat West Coast Eagles. That in itself made the day special!

Today we take the Benz back and head down the Great Ocean Road via the Mornington Peninsula and Sorrento Ferry.

I have plenty of pics to post and will do that as soon as I can find a few hours to sort them out. Alisha and I will be 'off the air' until Tuesday night, so no need to fret because we're not posting!

Oh my gosh, that was absolutely outstanding!!!! The pictures and descriptions of what went on define "vicarious pleasure."

Richard, you have a sharp eye. I couldn't resist pulling out the '63 Strat for just one song.

You'll be pleased to note that the rest of the time it sat inside it's roadcase, which was being used as step up onto the stage!

Did I say a few hours? Wrong!!!

The 4003 securely strapped into the back seat of the Benz for the trip to the Jamtin:

The boys tune up - ready to rock!!:

Seems Ron doesn't like full frontals!!:

During a break I just had to get a pic of my favourites - 350s! Ron and Greg's JGs with my MB and MID.

Chattin' away during a break:

Just a few of your common or garden variety Ricks!!

A girl of many talents..... Alisha rrrocks!!!

Darren in full flight with Greg:

"Hey dad.... this music stuff is easy peasy!!!". Jeremy was fantastic!

Ron and Frank getting into it..... this jammin' stuff is serious business!!

Dane is very impressed with Darren's licks:

And boy!! Could he cut the Deep Purple stuff or what?? Great work, Dane!!

Ron..... having a wow of a time!!

Frank and his Jetglo 4003..... a classic combination!

Bit late for a sound check don't you think, Darren??

Hey!! Aitch was right...... this guy really can play!!

Yup!! Sure can.........

What a great day!!

Oops!! Missed one....... Alisha is now officially a Geelong Cats supporter!! My son Pat approves.....

.....and I've ditched the Vikings in favour of the Seahawks!!

Great Pix guys! So Darren is tuning the drums?

All this talent makes me feel small, it happens to us all. Oh wait, slipped into a lyric there!

Great photos!! Aitch, you guys look like you're having way too much fun. Envy.

Hey guys, seeing as i couldn't bring my camera along,(it was being used at a 5 yo's birthday), having all these pics here is a fantastic reminder of not only a great day, but a gathering of some of the finest people you'd ever hope to spend time with! And again that night where all the ladies ,who support us completely ,had the opportunity to socialize as well!
Stunning pics Frank & Joe, plus all others from Darren and Aitch!
Thanks Darren for your kind words in regards to my vocals during the day, BUT, it should be noted that I "murdered" more than I "kicked goals" with!
Looking forward to catching up with Alisha, Aitch and Darren on Thursday for our guitar shop tour!
I'm off for a couple of days down the south west coast of Victoria for some R & R with my family ,and we will back in time for more Rick-related activities!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY this Wednesday Alisha - What a way to spend it, hey?

Well, what can I say or add?! Great pics and a really great time. I hope all you that participated realize how much envy and angst you created around the world. What I wouldn't have given to be a part of that! Thanks for all the updates!

Aitch - you look great in blue! Darren - ehhhh.

Posted: **Tue May 15, 2007 12:12 pm**

Yep!..... blue to match my eyes, John!

Posted: **Tue May 15, 2007 12:58 pm**

And here I thought your eyes were starting to turn the same shade as a pint of Guinness. No? Wait a minute, that would be MB

Some pics of our Great Ocean Road adventure. I won't post too many..... Alisha will probably want to do a picture essay in the 'Pascoe' style when she gets home.

We drove down the Mornington Peninsula en route to Sorrento to catch the car ferry.

On the ferry heading to Queenscliff:

Alisha jumping for joy at Port Campbell:

Loch Ard Gorge. No shipwrecks here!!

The Twelve Apostles... or is that Eleven? Awesome coastline!

As you can see, the weather has been extremely kind to us - mid May is not normally t-shirt weather!!

Today is Alisha's birthday and we're going to celebrate it in style tonight, so.........

Happy Birthday Alisha!!
