I remember in a previous thread, probably early this year, you mentioned your own home studio.
I would like to know what kind of music do you play/record?
Also, what kind of equiptment do you use? Any special Rickenbackers? Or other brands?

I'm still wondering.
What's your favorite non-Rickenbacker instrument?
Or favorite Rickenbacker?

JH doesnt seem to be posting too much lately but I know that he reads this. In the past he has said that enjoys his Glenn Frey Ltd. Ed. w/ stripped neck (probably #1 of the Edition =). Also believes that he plays Surf music.

If he plays surf, he must have a Sea Green bass.
Where the Vaction is. Only geezers will understand that, even though they probably would rather not.

Bob, "Where The Action Is" was probably Dick Clark's best show. Look back

how about american Bandstand? Shindig was a great show too. The Shindogs with Glen Campbell on guitar and the Danelectro Longhorn bass

I wonder if those are available on video anywhere? What a bunch of great bands. Didn't they all lip-synch though?

I think he did a lot of studio stuff back then, was a great guitar player for his time.

How patronizing....he's still alive and is a great guitar player for any time! I couldn't even begin to list his studio credits.

I didn't mean to patronize him, I haven't heard of him for twenty years, most of my main influences are from the 60's. And he was very famous and well known during the 60's when I was a kid.

Yeah, probably most of the west coast stuff you heard back then (Turtles, Mamas & Papas, Beach Boys, Sonny & Cher, Byrds, Monkees, etc.) had Glen and Hal Blaine (drums) and Carol Kaye (bass) among other amazing players. Glen Campbell was the first choice, I believe, to replace Brian Wilson in the touring version of the BB's, but he turned em down and Bruce Johnson (who had a hit with We Live for the Sun - produced by Brian Wilson's dad to spite Brian for firing him) got the job.
