I wasn't fat! I had hair! The Rickenbacker wasn't trashed yet!(I still have it and want to renovate it - all I need is "keywinds" as they call the tuning machines, in. Rick-o-Land.
I just back in front of a crowd with the ol' guitar for the first time in almost 20 years last week. It was a little shaky but felt great! Looking forward to making it a more regular thing again.
The guy who sent me these also sent AI-cleaned up versions later, but this will do.
