[What were your first guitars?]

One of these bad boys right here!  $299 with a chain saw case.

 

  

My first amp was similar to this, but I moved to a Peavey Bandit 65 within a year or so.

[NGD: Close enough!!]

I think Ted Nugent wrote a song about it...

Ooh, Snakeskin Cali, who the hell d'you think you are?  😆😆😆

BCR Greg.  He was Hamer warranty repair guy for a good while. 

Indeed, but he sold BCR Music and now builds and repairs guitars from his new shop, Platzer Guitars.

Cool... another cool VH tribute is Nerd Halen...  If the lead singer looks familiar, it's Hal Sparks

the actor...   

 

 

There used to be a band in Richmond, VA that dressed like that (minus the glasses) and only did Van Halen songs. They called themselves Van Heusen. 🤣🤣🤣

[Derek frigo's (enuff z'nuff) hamer chaparral!]

I don't think I knew he played any Hamers.  I loved that band though, even though nobody else did!

[So this new Slash album is pretty great.]

Finally listened to it today.  Definitely will again.

[Y & T live 2024. Pretty cool]

Great guitarist and singer.  I always thought he sounded a bit like a manlier Sammy Hagar.

[Lionel Richie and Earth Wind and Fire.]

I saw EWF maybe 15 years ago and was absolutely floored by how great they were.  I went back and saw them the very next time they got close enough.  I was so pleasantly surprised by my enjoyment of EWF that I went and saw Hall and Oates when they came around and THEY were incredible too.  Gotta keep an open mind.

[2024 GAS Challenge]

All I need is an FRFR amp.  I'd like to SELL at least 3 guitars and some pedals.  I've figured out a few things I could let go; now I just need to, you know...let go.  That's the hard part for me.

However, I WILL buy a korina Vector if I ever see one for $350!  lol   Hell, you can even tack another zero on there and I'd still consider it, but I can't go for the $6k and up prices I've been seeing.

[PSA - TV Jones Blemished Pickup Sale]

I got a "blemished" Filter'tron from them years ago and couldn't even find any "blemish", so definitely check them out.  I think they even have pics of the exact pickup you're buying on their site so you can see if it actually does have a visible flaw.

[Nugent 1980 Midnight Special rythm guitarist with a nice Hamer Standard]

Man, I loved Ted BITD.  From his first album to the black "Nugent" album, I still listen to them all.

[Supporting the HFC?]

Leave it to me to ask the question and then forget about it for a few weeks!  Corrected that situation and contributed today.

Happy Birthday to me!

Thanks to the people who have sent me emails asking about contributing to the cause. Perfect timing as while doing this year taxes my wife started questioning me about the over 2k I've spend on the server over the last couple years. Since we havent done it in a couple years I guess now is as good a time as any.

Here's the details Become a supporting member of the HFC and help defray the costs of having a our own server. (fyi, I do other personal stuff on the server but the HFC is the reason the server exists and it uses the vast majority of band width.)

In the past we have used the Happy meal model which is send me whatever you would spend on lunch during a typical day (Please god let them all be NYC Corporate Execs!)

In return you get the supporter tag and access to the wonderful world that is the outter circle which is a non hamer related virtual no holds barred cage match where the post run wild across the gamut of subjects. Being that all the participants are active HFCer's its different that other controversial messageboards since its harder to hide behind a screen name. Still that doesnt stop people from mixing it up. It's not just a battle royal as Jokes, Photoshop images, links, etc. also appear en masse.

If your interested in contributing to the HFC Server Fund take your pick of the following

paypal me at [email protected]

snail mail a check to:

hfc server fund

c/o hikarate.com

p.o. box 19316

Minneapolis MN 55419

Or

if you can sling some HTML, PHP or AJAX and have any interest in helping with new features or areas of the Hamer Fan Club [email protected]

I appreciate all the support want to thank all those who have contributed for helping pay for the playground.

your friend

Ted Martin

 

 

 

Thanks!  That's pretty old though.  I hope Ted or someone else will chime in to say whether that is still the best way to do it, or to advise of any other options that might be available now.

[Supporting the HFC?]

I've contributed in the past to the support/maintenance/upgrade or upkeep costs of the HFC but I don't remember how.  I think I just PayPal'd Ted?  Anyway, it seems like a long time since anyone made a post saying "don't forget this site isn't free to run" so I guess that's what I'm doing now.  If someone could refresh my memory on how to contribute to the operating costs, I would appreciate it.

[Song Title Game]

When I posted the Highway to Hell video in response to Blackberry Smoke (who I just saw recently), I immediately thought of what I would post if Highway to Hell was still open to comment on and then I thought "who says I can't go twice in a row?" so here you go...
