Hey, Nigel...

Did you get those silly pictures I sent you?

Just wondering...

Russ

Sure did Russ. It was great to see you with your guitars. Thanks so much for sending them with the descriptions. Boy you must really be in good shape to handle those double neck guitars. They look like they have some real weight to them. But I guess most players don't usually use them for more than a song or two at a time. And I bet that one with the 2 Bigsby's is a real tuning challenge lol. I even get a little tired sometimes just with the weight of my Les Paul over a 4 hour night with the band.

I've seen Cheap Trick a few times now and Rick Nielsen always pulls out some some interesting guitars including the double neck that is modelled on himself. Uses at least one guitar per song and more sometimes.

Fun toys, although some are a little useless. I still have my late 60's Mosrites (one is a mandolin/6, one is a 6/12) and a 62' Carvin double. Others are a Carvin fretted and fretless bass (custom) and a Carvin guitar/bass (also custom). Used it (guitar/bass) for years with bass pedals backing a guitar player/singer. Switched to pedals when I played melody. Solid maple...I'm glad I sat all night. Actually, the Robin is well balanced and not much heavier than a regular Strat. Now, the Gretsch...that's another matter.

These were just laying around. Will choose some more unique, more valuable ones and send photos to you, if you're interested.


Hope you and Kerry are doing well!

R.

Nigel can you share those pics?

I wanna see them also ....post some here for us!!

Nigel, I can email you about 5 of these silly things if you want to take the time to post one. If you do, please tell everyone to take it easy on the "old man".

R.

That would be great Russ. I'll be happy to scan and post them.

Nigel, if you scan them I won't need to email them...do it if you wantr to...just BE KIND, FOLKS!

R.

Sent one of the photos to Donny and Nigel. One of them will probably post it soon.

Then, I'll go into hiding for a while...turn off my phone, shut off my computer and wait for that call from Jay Leno!

R.

Hey Russ can you send me those photos in email. When I turned on my scanner for the first time in a year or more it refused to be recognized by my PC. It is almost 10 years old now so I should have expected it.

Hey, Nigel, I emailed you one of those things early last week...sent it to Donny, too, and he got it. Let me know, and I'll send it again. did not bounce back.

R.

Nigel...sent you one of the pics again a few minutes ago.


R.

It's weird Russ neither of those emails made it through to me. I really don't understand why they aren't arriving.

But I did manage to coax my old scanner to work again and scanned the photos you sent me. While the quality isn't great ( I really must get a new scanner ) I can at least post them now.

Thanks, Nigel... not too much heat forthe "old man"!

R.

Nice pics, Russ. Not you, the guitars . And BTW, whaddayu mean "ol' man"? If you're old, what am I, Pithecanthropus erectus? I bet we could still pick up a couple of chicks in the mall. Who cares if they got dentures and a hip replacement, right? Keep on keepin' on, my friend, age is just a number (a very large number, in my case).

chas

Chas, I always tell people I still have groupies, but now they're all under 8 and over 80, so when they throw their underwear at me, it's Huggies on one end and Depends on the other. Not a plesant thought, but everyone has to have their nitch, I guess.


Russ

AHH you kids worry me
bebop

Why can't they be like we were ... perfect in every way ... what's the matter with kids today.


Can you name that musical lol ?

Mary Poppins..(can't believe I admit knowing about that)!

R.

Actually it was "Bye Bye Birdie". Preceded Mary Poppins by quite a few years ( 1960 ).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bye_Bye_Birdie

It was based on a fictitious 50s rock 'n roll singer arriving in a small town and the reaction of the local teenage girls.

Somehow, it doesn't bother me that I was wrong!

Russ

I MUST be really old. My wife is out of the country for 10 days, and all I can think about is playing golf.
DonM

And why should it

You made me laugh Don .... but I think your wife would be very happy about that. ..... Oh yeah you must be old

Hey Russ .... You look good for an OLD guy !!! .....
t.

I'm wondering if a double chin is a pre-requisite to a double-neck? Or vice-versa?

Jim
PS I know I know....When am I ever going to post a pic or example of my talents?

By the way.
GREAT pics!! and thanks for sharing,
Jim

Tony are you sure you didn't mean he looked OLD for a GOOD guy
Bebop

Stop it! If you don't, I'll hit you with my walker!

This was FUN!

Russ

hey Russ, don't spoil our fun!
We were just getting warmed up
Bill

Fire away, Bill1 I'll forget the jabs in just a few minutes, anyway!

Hey Russ don't let that young brat BEBOP push you around
