Rickresource Rickenbacker Forum

I thought it might be appropriate to post some pics of the wonderful people I met and stayed with during my tour. There's Rickenbacker content, too!!

John Ashfield in full flight in SF:


The 'Kantner' guitar in test mode - lovely!


Paul checking for defects. The only one he found was me!


The 'full catastrophe' finally arrives at the Doubletree:


You just can't avoid him, can you?


Looks like a game of 'bottles' is on the cards:


Oh come all ye faithful.........


Melibee in 'dream' mode:


Jerry and Dale comparing notes:


Darren...... hot to Trott!

Graham with one of his 'stunners'. Another Peroni, mate??


Hope I haven't crashed your server, Peter!

Absolutley incredible, Aitch. Brought back some great Santa Ana memories. Looks like the trip of a lifetime!

It's great to put faces to so many of the familiar names!
You're a very lucky chap, Howard, to be able to meet all those fine folks (& play their guitars)!

Aitch...thanks. Now once again, I can't wipe that stupid smile off my face!

Great shots. Aitch!!!

You're giving me the travelling bug, mate...I'm looking at those and reliving things that I never experienced the first time around...weird, huh?

BTW, Juliana is over the moon with her new phone, which arrived on Wednesday.

Great pics Aitch! Like the other's said, brings it all back! Thanks for not posting a pic of the Saturday night/Sunday morning Bottles session!

It has to be the trip of a lifetime - it is great you had that long off to be able to do it!

Thanks for not posting a pic of the Saturday night/Sunday morning Bottles session!

I'm STILL waiting for those!

Thanks for sharing. What a trip!

Actually Aitch (I hate to dispel the myth Aitch!) bailed out to bed before most of us! Graham and Allison were the last to leave the patio. Jason, Jeff, you, and I were just before them.

Dang, I need a beer and a cig.... :^Q

Forshame, John! From now on, you will only smoke when there is a Rick-playing Aussie present!

COOL! Great memories you got there, Aitch!

Oh, thank you, Aitch, for posting those pics....they go perfectly with the song I just finished recording! So many good memories...from Santa Ana to our jammin' in the family room with Billy D!

And so many great pics of so many great forumites!

Aitch, you had a truly amazing once-in-a-lifetime trip, captured wonderfully in pictures!

Cheers to all!

"Forshame, John! From now on, you will only smoke when there is a Rick-playing Aussie present!"

That would sum it up! Now if we're talking cigars.....

Thanks for posting the pictures of your amazing journey.

By the way, I have a couple of tickets for Sunday's Mets/Cards game. You wanna go? I'm sure Cards fans would love to see their "good luck charm" again.

Magnificent! Great to see all those pics. Thanks Aitch!
