I know you're probably having WAAAAY too much fun to follow up on this request, but any chance of putting some names to faces on those album photos? :confused:
I can recognise Temp, Al, Jason, Cliff, Moody, Jerome, and I think..BrianT?, Slipkid? and Strummin12? (with the hair and reflecting cap?)
I don't know who the rest are. |

The trebuchet successfully launched 2 Ovation Ultras many times... until there wasn't enough left to tie a rope on. Thanks Jeff for building it and dragging it all the way up here for our idle amusement!

There are a lot of observers that trusted that it will fly straight, hmmmm...what time did the cocktails begin?
Jealously Ya'lls,

Location: Campbell River, British Columbia | I'm sorry. That guitar just doesn't sound tuned to me. I can't get my ears past the disonance.
I have the same trouble with some moderne classical music, where they piano is played with rotten grapefruit on the strings while a chainsaw chews the legs.....Maybe it would sound better with a Taylor?
But thanks ever so for the same day reports. This is almost like being embedded with the troups! Without the nasty morning-after of having Cliff passed out at the foot of your bed..... |

Uploading them as fast as this lobby connection will allow, while listening to everybody jam away.
Great fun.
Sorry, seesquare, I think the pieces all vanished to the four winds. |

"Here I am scrambling to fix up guitars and send over seas, and you guys are trashing guitars."
I know firsthand, after cringing at a threatened bashing, that the MOB that was sacrificed last year had an extensive radial crack in the neck which rendered it non repairarable. I sure that this year's "throw ins" were either terminal patients or volunteers as well.
PM me your parts list, I may need to clean up some. |
