HI ALL,Bill Dillon here, just a note about Dan Lanois,, most of the world is aware ,by now, that Dan Lanois has suffered a motorcycle accident in LA on Sat,and was in intensive care,, would like to report that he should be fine !!!
this is good news all around, and we hope the best for him here,, This is of RIC interest,as, I have known Dan since 1967,we are from the same town, and played in our respective local bands when we were teens,and,of course,made a lot of fine albums together,,, last year we both ,somehow,managed to have our early 60s RIC 12 strs "come back to us",serendipity??,, mine a blond 330-12,and Dans,a 450-12 fireglow,as I have continued my affair with RICs thru the years,I was able to orchestrate the restoration of Dans 450, and it is currently waiting for him to be picked up, and the good news, is that he will be around to enjoy it still,, this makes a post on RIC forum valid ,I think,and we should all look forward to what he may come up with when his beloved little 450-12 is in his hands,,, by the way ,,,it plays like butter, and sounds great !!
All guitar work was,and is being done by the famous Mike Spicer, {THE PEGHEAD },,, here in Hamilton,, he's incredible! So if every one could send a silent prayer his way,, recovery could be that much sooner for Dan.
thanks every one for taking the time to read this ,,, Bill
