Smithereens

Way cool, and it happens to be my very favorite Smithereens song. Not to mention an all Rick lineup.

Excellent song and video - All that's missing is the elusive Rickenbacker drum set...

Excellent, excellent... thanks!! Brings back some great memories of seeing them live about 15 years ago. Great band, and you gotta love the Ricks.

Brings back great memories of the HOB show DCM weekend.

They appear to have the same instruments on.

The frontman reminds me of Elvis Costello a bit.

Definitely not the same 350 that Pat is using, as we made that one special for him just for the 75th show in order to replace the original which I believe was stolen from him years ago. Needless to say, Pat was VERY happy with his new Rick. When I met him at the show, Kenny mentioned to him that I was the one who painted up his new guitar, and he gave me a big 'ol bear hug and said "THANK YOU, I love it, not only does it look great, but it plays perfect!".
Pat's a class act all the way, as are his bandmates. Having been a Smithereens fan from WAY back, that was a really nice thing for me to experience.

Ahhhh yes, now that Eric has jogged my memory, I have a question or two for Mr. Kenny Howes...
