(to be specific... he invented the "ROTATING" Glass Armonica... people had been rubbing wine glass rims for a good while before he put them on an rotisserie ) |

Location: NJ | If you listen to the opening of PinkFloyd's "Shine On, You Crazy Diamond", those ethereal chords at the opening of the track were created with overdubs of multiple wineglasses being rubbed & creating the chords . . . |

Now there was a band. Remember all the rumors that they were really the Beatles who had reformed so that they could record in peace. |

| If Pat Metheny called and asked me over to record an album and do a tour it would be nice. Ditto John McLaughlin.
But that is slightly more than a "goal" I suspect.
More time to play and some really good musicians to play with would be my goal, both of which I could probably do if I got my lazy ass in gear. Give me just 20% of bobbo's energy and focus and I might do something. |

Location: Boise, Idaho | One of the beauties of this topic is that it is thought-provoking. Like Schroeder, one of my goals has been to get people over to try to jam a bit. That hasn't worked well, since the local guitar players that I know prefer 80s hair band stuff. I've had the good fortune to have 4 of the OFC buddies stop for brief visits and have made it out to visit several others.
If I ever get to retirement, I'd like to travel around to as many of the OFC get togethers as I can. Those seem to be the best motivators for me to practice, just so I don't embarass myself too badly. |

Location: south east Michigan | I'm very lucky to have hooked up with Brian. (Through the OFC BTW).
Same goals, same tastes in tunes, & willing to get together once a week.
It's gotta be going on 4 years now.
Mark... wish you were closer. I'd love to jam on your newly expanded deck. I call dibs on the OFC guitar. |
