Another Back Yard Ricken Jam and BBQ

Post by 8mileshigher »

Some friends brought over an arsenal of amplifiers and Rickenbackers and their assorted talents :) so we had a BBQ and Rickenbacker jam session and a lot of fun singing old favorite songs .... nice way to spend a September afternoon in Southern Calif.

in addition to a few pictures I took, I would like to thank Diane, Lori, Nick and Frank for pictures they posted on Facebook which I poached for this thread. Some of the pictures of the backline of amps and guitars on stands are similar.

Batch 1:

As always, if someone wants a high-res version of one or more of those, PM me and I will be glad to share it.

I do have some videos, so if I can find some time, I may post them on YouTube. No promises. :? 8)
