Met up with Darren Trott (another forum member) yesterday for a bit of a jam, few beers and a chat. We had a great time and thought some pictures would be in order:

Us and them

That's Darren on the left and me on the right. He's into vintage, I'm into 'newies'........

Us and them #2

Same again....... Not sure whether Darren's Rick T-Shirt is vintage or not!

The kids #1

The 'children' getting some exercise in the garden....

The Kids #1

We'll do it again, with hopefully more owners and their Ricks.

Cheers :-)

Who owns the 360 V, Howard? All in all it's a nice looking lot, and the guitars look even better.

Sorry, Stan. I was doing a bit of editing when you posted. Darren's the proud owner (lucky SOB!)

Howdy cousins from Oz. Great photos. The smiles on your faces tell the story.

Thanks, Peter. I reckon you can't have anything but a smile on your face when you are lucky enough to own some of these babes (except when you receive your bank statements!!).

Howard...this is kind of non-Ric(over very much so) related but my dearest and oldest friend is bonkers over Midnight Oil and anyhing associated with them...He loves Aussies...and the music coming from there. He sent me a CD of Ghostwriters, part of the old MO. Don't know if you've heard it but it is really good. Anyway, I'm sure if he were here, he'd say hey.
Call this my drivel but had to put his words out.

Haven't heard the CD Stan but there's a CD and DVD out called '20000 WATT RSL' and it rocks!!!

Heaps of live stuff, interviews, etc.

The Oils are a great outfit!! I wonder about Peter Garrett (ex-frontman) sometimes, though...........

Peter the politician

Peter the singer

I'm thinking he modelled himself on Paul Wilczynski!!

Yeah, you could be right....but the picture of Garrett isn't as blurred, LOL.
And I'm sure my friend already has the CD/DVD of which you speak.
Do you wonder about Peter an his political stance. being the elected official he is now, or just in general?

Well, I never knew. Found a quote on an ABC site:

'.....A call to Midnight Oil�s Jim Moginie (who works his musical magic on four tracks here) then led to another Oil-man, guitarist Martin Rotsey, who makes his Rickenbacker chime like a church bell on the opener, �Hello the End�, and �Light is On�.'
