Location: Phoenix AZ | Mike, no disrespect to your loss. But your thread about "Taps" got me to thinking about the list of long lost OFC regulars. Not the ones who have passed away (there's been some) but the ones that have gone sorta MIA since the good old days.
Feel free to add onto the list. To get the ball rolling ...
Schroeder
Jason
Samova
Cliff
Bradley
Russ musicamex
Woz
Nils
Luthier444
Bailey
Norseman
Hizzoner
patsbro
Goober
Beatlejuice
and a whole lot more. |

| Like Carly Simon said, these are the good old days. There are always new people posting and contributing. People move on and others take their places. |

Jason... not so much.
Is Schroeder's real name Clive Page? He keeps popping up on facebook... but no picture and no common friends. |

| Zorjon aka John Dennis.... he gave me the gas after I joined here with my 71 Balladeer and questions, we always met halfway, he drove up from Miami, I'd drive down from Brevard. I got the pearl white 1718(now with guigite) from him, my first 1758-1(on Jerome's site still) from him, and I believe an early legend... or it may have been an Artist model I remember taking 3 trips to meet him.. he showed me the first slothead custom legend 12 I'd ever seen. He has a very charming wife, and 2 kids, and it was always fun to take the ride to Pt. St. Lucie or WPB... he'd have 4 or 5 very nice O's for me to look over every time.
I'd like to know if Jason's ok... but can't say I really miss him, but you do worry about people and friends that become part of the online "family" and no matter what their faults "family is family". I don't miss Greg S-SOP music either since he screwed me out of the vintage legend.
there are lots of Regulars from years back that we haven't heard from in some time.

Location: Tennessee | Yeah. Those guys and I really miss Bailey and musicamex too. All of the folks mentioned are missed. Some others I wish would check in are Willard, Fugot, Styll, Paul Hebert from Lafayette LA, Paul Wag, Xbj (Les) and Steve Chapman. There's lot of others too. |

How about Jackalopes or furry fish? |
