It works for me.
Bravo, Ray!
I read everything and enjoyed it!
How big was that tripod you used for the Cessna picture? |

| Joey! It was a monumental task to be sure, it was custom tri-pod, and had to have special filters on the lense, etc. You know how goes into a good shot. Thanks for noting the effort required to get a pix like this. Sorry, it is slightly off center. |

Fine job Ray and a nice tribute to Jerry.
I always was and still am a fan of his
playing. Past member of that fan club too.
Your guitar collection is awesome.
10 Ricks!!!! It would be interesting to know
if there is any appreciable difference in the
tone(sound)?
Thanks for the trip.

ROY: I got in a big hurry. Actually, there are now 11 Ricks, and YES, each has a different "sound" all of its own, and yet have a common thread among them, unmistakenly
a Rickenbacher. Thanks......... |

A great site Ray, and a great sight too.
Your story almost brought a tear to my eye
since we had similar beginnings.
I too have a picture around here someplace
where I at age seven (1934) am sitting there
with that seemingly huge Oahu guitar on my
lap. Also where your first electric was a
beautiful EH150, Mine was and still is an
EH100 (1937). Now I am really getting that
tear in my eye.
I will be revisiting your website regularly
hopefully in search of more fond memories.

Ray -- Great job! I'm so glad it all came together for you. It's quite an accomplishment that you got it up and running and I'm sure that many steel players will learn alot from it. You've sure been around and I count it a privilege to be a friend. I love your stories. All the best to you and Sally in 2004!

| Thanks to everyone for your kind words and friendly emails. We've changed the music at the site, as of last night. We hope to ad a guest book very shortly. Again, many thanks to each of you. Hope you will continue to visit the site. Your personal glimpses and experiences as they relate to Jerry Byrd are welcome. |
