Hey kids

I will be at the manhattan guitar center at 11am tommorow with Dargie and Brian. come by and say Hi.. we have a meeting at noon and then will be flying home...but if you are in the neighborhood!
 
I'll be waiting for the Verizon tech to come check out the noise in my phone lines.

I somehow sense that you're going to be having more fun.
 
Will you sign my Stingray if I show up BP? An old Newport slug like me....I would really appreciate it!!!its a few hours from Boston but I might be able to swing it..!!!

Whoa - which tomorrow?

Tomorrow as in Thursday (as technically today!) or tomorrow as in Friday!?
 
Believe me when I tell you that they don't care about me (anymore).

That's a shame to hear. I was considering switching my long distance service to them before I read that.
 
I've read some of the stuff you write on the Internet Jack. I'm sure there's a part of them that'll always care. Think anyone noticed the hidden messages in the cowpilot videos?

Is that the one on 14th? Bought a bass there last November while visiting.
 
Thursday August 10, 2006 11am..Olorin I will release you from the curse! I dont want to cross the missus! Only a knucklehead would drive from Boston to get his bass signed by a bigger knucklehead!

i still gotta get me a BP signature on my blue dawn sterling's headstock.
 
Here they are...

Met up with BP, Scott and Brian at 14th Stree GC today. Took my older son along for the ride. It was a blast seeing BP & crew on the East Coast! :p

I was fortunate enough to be on vacation this week - mbgreene stopped by as well, ducking out of the office for a bit.

Got my hands on an HH Sterling for the first time (immediately fell in love with position #4!).

Some pics and commentary below...

BP zeroed right in on my son and demanded an arm-wrestle (Anthony let him win! ;) )
In all honesty, BP gave him lots of attention and made him feel quite special!

Here's a cool twist - my son hanging out with Sterling's sons!
(L to R: Brian, Anthony, Scott)

Here's my son losing his mind with a 20th Anniversary Silo!

The 5-ply striping is awesome!

Anthony got up-close and personal with Sterling's guitar style - both traditional and
"work-bench" style soloing and chording techniques. "Dad, we wasn't just good, he was
AWESOME!"

Fun time! :D
 
That shirt makes me want to continue my evil attempts to genetically fuse a goldfish with a fighting cock and mate the monstrous result with a giant squid.


Still looks like fun, though.
 
Hey Anthony - great pics. Nice to see you again today. I posted a quick review over on the guitar side

I'm sorry I had to leave and get back to work before BP sat down with your son. Must have been quite an experience and it looks like he really enjoyed it.
