Here's where they ended up. This is the bar built and owned by the purchaser and my guitar friend. He's the one on the ladder. Get this...he named his place....ready for this....? The Whammy Bar. Named after the whammy bar on most strats. I thought it was clever as ever.
:lol:

When a bar is designed and built by an actual musician it is done right. This place rocks.

I should also point out that back in the 70's through the early 90's he was the VP of accounting for Springfield Armory. He got me hired on there in the sales department which is how I got into guns in the first place. Then in 1991 he left to start his own consulting company for computers and hired me as his VP of sales since I had been in retail sales for 15 years previously. He then got me into computers and I flourished which is today why I am an IT specialist. He's been a real good friend for all these years. I owe him a lot.

Here's how the place looks since its completion and the first band ever playing there.

The owner and my guitar friend is on the far left rockin' it out. He's also playing the charcoal burst I built. The other guitarist is playing the red one I built. I just now noticed this for both guitars. :o

Actually for all intents and purposes all the guys up there but the drummer and keyboardist were in my band back in the 80's.

hooooooooooboy. I've been away a while.

Sorry for the lack of photos. I was using a hosting site that got bought out and I wasn't going to wait around for new rules and other such nonsense to kick in. Unfortunately as witnessed here, I forget where all my photos were posted. Oh, well, onward and upward.

Got into a very prosperous band project first of the year and we've been playing almost every weekend since. I have had little to no time to even go range plinking.

Here's a little taste of the latest band project.

Get Ready.

Welcome back, Bish. Thanks for the link. You guys really do need to get better mike placement, though. I know it would improve your vids.

FYI, I'm pretty sure I saw a robotic vacuum cleaner dancing in the background of this one. :lol:

Been watching a young drummer from Germany named Sina lately, very talented, plays a lot of covers but some original stuff also.

Not a drummer but another amazing young talent is Lucy Gowan, having the talent and the dedication to be that good at 12 years old is incredible.
