We owe you a bunch, Rob!
Uwe Hornung was there too. And Rinus Gerritsen was special guest. He got the official first copy that evening.
Coïncidentally the third edition of the book got sold out yesterday.
I have no concrete plans for a new edition yet…

I have a picture of you with Uwe and Edith at that event as well, wish I could have made it. I want to visit Europe again very much, which reminds me to kick
Frank in the butt about getting a Passport.

And? Your point is?Are you kidding? I try to keep my distance. You people are crazy.
But a good kind of crazy.
Someone here needs it. Not me. But that is a very nice price.
Ahhh. Well that one's a bit out of my budget, but I did see one recently more in the $700 range...maybe I SHOULD grab that.
Also
If you see a II in good condition for under $1200…and you don’t buy it. Let me know. One Sunn lover to anotherAhhh. Well that one's a bit out of my budget, but I did see one recently more in the $700 range...maybe I SHOULD grab that.
Also
Go back to last weekend. Look for a post by @Stealth57 .
Did the late 70s Greco birds come with a bridge cover? I see some with and some without. The ones without, don't have holes in the body to indicate they did have one once.

And a pic of Rinus Gerritsen playing Radar Love on the original EB-3 that he used for the studio recording of that same song. He was joined by my wife Floor on lead vocal. And my former band mate Mick on guitar. And Edward on drums.
