Location: N.J. | Found out the factory closed and it really hit home. I havent been on here in quite some time (doing studio gigs and traveling like mad) but I gotta say I had some great memories at the factory as well as the jams we did in the hotel lobby and the lodge. Since those days I have been to quite a few guitar gatherings but none of 'em ever had a Trebuchet!!! I have lurked here from time to time to try and keep up with the goings on but unfortunately I cant get here as much as I would like too. I still have nightmares seeing Brad wearing the coconuts! 
Still have my Adamas 1688 (though it may be for sale unless someone talks some sense into me) and my SS Angel Step Walnut.
I honestly have to say that those factory tours are still what I use to measure any event that I have to go to. Good people and good times. Now who remembers the peanuts in Cliffs Slothead at Amys house..?? Just doesnt get any better than that!!

Location: Tennessee | Good to see you Sleepy. I miss the lobby jams at the Homewood Suites. Got some good memories of listening to and playing a bit with you. Glad to hear all is well with you. |

Location: Cicero, NY | The trebuchet. A memory to be cherished. Good to have you to stop back, Sleepy. I still recall you and cliff pulling off some early Doobie Bros (was it Long Train Runnin'?) in the Homewood lobby and, despite running around trying to meet everyone I could (and play every git I could), that tune stopping me in my tracks. (Almost made me drop Moody's OFC but don't tell him that).
Have fun on your travels but don't forget us small folks that loiter in the lobby's. (Wow, does THAT sound creepy.) And drop a note if you're ever running through Central New York. |

Now that you mention it, it does. I guess those of us that know you just take it for granted.

Location: N.J. | Hey Weaser, Was that you I saw being taken away in handcuffs about 6 months ago? LOL and yes, Cliff and I did "Long Train Running" with Matt Smith and just Cliff and I did a Bryan Adams tune in the lobby. Good to see majority of everyone is still here. Hey Phil, did you move on to pro photographer yet?? Bobbo, Yes, those jams were alot of fun. The staff at the hotel were great to put up with us into the wee hrs. Really such good memories. |

That's what got me in trouble in the first place! |
