Location: Phoenix AZ | I couldn't find the thread, but anyway ... The WRB Tour continues with package shipping to Moody tomorrow. The "goody bag" of trinkets is growing. Marcel Dadi DVD, Ovation 40th DVD, bunch of backing tracks, photos, and god knows what else from previous borrowers of the WRB. I threw in a special CD of ukulele music (have an open mind), a Kaki King promo CD and an OFC-CD Vol. 1. Enjoy and keep the old WRB train a moving. Dave |

Location: Phoenix AZ | Wabbit, the trinkets are GREAT. T28 put in a whole CD of MP3 backing tracks. They work great to strum your uke to. Slip added lots of good stuff on CD as well. The Dadi DVD would only play on my laptop, but that worked out fine. This is turning into quite a nice collection of stuff. Dave |

Location: Bluffton, SC | Wow - with the trinkets thrown in, I think I'm going to reconsider just spending a few minutes with it at the Tour (assuming it's going to be there). I think I would like to add my name to the back of the list if I could...
What is the plan as it stands today? |

| To whom ever has this guitar in the next few months;......send this to someone (before the gathering) who is actually going to the gathering please. This way several, or more, of us may get the chance to see it and play it and relieve some of the waiting time for the doner to have this returned to him.
Sound fair??

Third on the original list and still waiting.
And speaking about original intentions.... Part of the idea of the Roundback Tour was to document it's journey with pictures and stories. And the stories can be fictional. |

If you're worried about the guitar getting damaged in a hurricane, you should probably give due concideration to relocating your own ass....
...bring the guitar with you. |

Has the WRB made it to Florida (and 'Zilla) yet? Is there a list of where it goes afterwards? I know Tom (tten) requested some time with it as well as some in the NE quadrant... |

I'll tell ZILLA right away. Okay??? |

Location: Boise, Idaho | JeffreyD, the thought was that it would get passed around. I kind of inserted myself into the NW recipients and tried very weakly to get it around to you and Waskel and others, but I ended up taking it down to Dave in Arizona (back in the good ole days when he was StandingOvation.)
He quickly passed it on to Southern California as I recall and then it stalled somewhere after that. |

Location: Orlando, FL | Hey everybody! Sorry to bogart the WRB. There has been way too much crap going on in my life. Way too much work. A death in the family. Hurricane scare. Possible job (and lifestyle) change! Lots of stress. Keeping a guitar by my desk is the only reason my head hasn't exploded yet. Haven't even had time to lurk in weeks.
LeStrange, thanks for the heads up! I would be happy to send the WRB to someone for the SE gathering, In fact depending on where and when it is (and if life gets back to normal) I'd love to go to a SE gathering! Let me know.
It will probably be next week before I can get her and the trinkets packed up and sent. So just tell me who and where.
Holy crap! I'll never get caught up on all the posts I've missed. I'll bet Mark in Boise has acquired another 3 or 4 guitars by now! |

I was talking to the guy that bought it this week and mentioned ttenn's JL3 for sale. He said I should go for it, since I haven't bought a guitar for a week. I'm going to try to hold off for a year. |

I had a tough time resisting that 30th Anniversary Custom Legend a couple weeks ago. There are many Legends out there. A 30th Anniversary would be nice for our 30th Anniversary next year. |

Tony, we'll be spending a week in San Diego next summer and I will find a way to meet you guys. That will be just a few weeks before our 30th Anniversary, so I'm scheming. |

Location: Bluffton, SC | Well, gentlefolk, it's about time for the WRB to be moving on. I would like to thank JW for allowing me a little extra time with it while my new one is being rebuilt at the Mothership. Very kind of you Jeff and, rest assured, I'll be in line with the others to buy you a cold one at the Tour. While mine'll take another couple of weeks at the shop, I figure by the time we figure out who's next in line, I spiff it up a little with new strings, buff it up, throw one or two things in the trinket booty and we get it moving, those coupla weeks'll be just about spent. I know there were a few Northeasterners who were asking about it - who's up? |

And maybe you'd better send that 47 up here if you're concerned about the zoo, Mike. You can visit anytime. With a two week notice, of course. |

Weaser - right back atcha! NJ Turnpike, exit 4 - just a hop, skip and a jump from the great white north. |

should probably christen it with a few grains of hapuna beach white sand too and then check its buoyancy in a 3-5 foot surf. |
