hfc-ers from the east to the west coasts.......down to Fl. & La. & in one case over the water from Belgium.

It might be easier to list those that I haven't met (yeah, right :blink:)

One might ask though, if you haven't met Butcher yet, are you really a HFC member? :blink::blink::lol:

Too many to list. All of the HFC members I've met are great people and some have become some of my best lifetime friends. Some insanely cool and talented people here and I'm blessed to know 'em. Need to meet up with a bunch more like some of the NC, MN and Canuck folks here who I really enjoy hanging online with, but that's just for starters.

We need another MidAtlantic jam!

P. Fung dropped off a goldtop GT at my sisters house but I wasn't there ... near brush with greatness? :blink:

Would love to make it back east sometime, I have friends in Pittsburgh

Having been to 4321 jams, the Golden Jam in 2006, and an open house at Hamer in 2004 my list of meets is lengthy but I will never forget the Columbus HFCers who came to have lunch with me in 2001 when I came to town and the surprise appearance by Kim Keller will always top my list.

DavidE., Cary, Paults, Custom53, and at least two others who's names escape me. Ya'll are brothers for Life! Me and C53 even left there to indulge in a lil G.A.S. fulfillment as I had spied a Hamer import killing time before lunch pawnshopping and went back to get it. :lol::blink::blink::blink::lol:

Not bad at all for $80.

I met Brooks last night when he and Dave played a show in Charlotte. His playing was fantastic and his Duotone sounded great.

Posted

  • Pesocaster & family
  • Jimbilly and family
  • Camstone
  • Charlie Drown
  • (Jason) Kull (later known as Guitardweeb; don't know if he currently has an HFC alias)
  • Pirateflynn & his lovely wife, Katie
  • eighty-four (IIRC)

And I saw Kull & Charlie Drown perform their industrial metal thing at a prominent Seattle venue, and Pesocaster hold down the lead duties with a band at a club in Poulsbo.

All good times.

Hmmm... you did not buy that Laney from me. But we've actually hooked up a few times. And remember that I've known your brother for about 25+ years, lol.

if we would have done this alrady, think of hw impressive our list would be

Posted

I think Ive met a few people who are who are both here and in OFC

Posted

he doesn't post much (and has never owned a hamer), but steve (bruiser brody, on left) is one of my best friends,

i've known him for 20 years. we had a band one summer when i was at north texas,

and we hung out & partied nonstop.

steve went to G.I.T. for a year, took lessons from andy timmons, and has some killer chops.

austintx06.jpg

HHB has been one of my best pals since 2002. we've done a few recordings together, and i've sat in w/ his bands a bunch.

now that i travel w/ my dayjob, we see each other a few times a month.

bill is a full time guitar teacher & a very rounded player; blues, rawk, sightreading in theater pit bands, etc

BK_HHB_7-03.jpg

i've known stike just as long, he has done a buncha free work on my guitars

(his refins are LEGENDARY; PM him if your ax needs a facelift).

we've played a few thrown together party gigs. we go out for grub or to see a show now and again.

STIKETONES2.jpg

JeffR played tourguide and got hammered w/ me & my wife when we were in new orleans a few years ago, whata blast that was!

DSC00408.jpg

DavidB lives 2 towns over. a few years ago i bought a special from him (later i briefly met stokesdead when i sold it to him). dave's kickass band SPANK & my band have played a few gigs together, and we get together for drinks or whenever he gets a new hamer (he has the most impressive collection i've been in the same room with). spank1.jpg

they don't post much, but jon & laura press invited me to NYC and let me stay w/ them when i got laid off a few years ago. they know alot of folks in the NYC jazz/studio scene, we saw some great shows.

bought an artist then later sold it back to bobbymac, and we've hung out several times. he & his beautiful wife have come out more than once to some charlotte gigs that he hooked me up with; actually, i just got home a little while ago from one (where i briefly met HGB5000 yesterday).

i traded some gear and spent a fun afternoon of pizza & beer w/ mike m. (monocosis) a few years ago.

saw kings x last summer, & had food/drinks w/ JackC & steve (rockola) several times in the last year, cool dudes.

bought a chap and briefly hung w/ steve haynie earlier this year.

i met a buncha guys at phoenix' BBQ a few years ago, i won't list all of 'em for fear i'll leave someone out. i've hung w/ steve (phoenix) more than once, he's cool and super generous w/ his hot sauce and other treats.

great thread!!! sorry if i left anyone out. everyone i've met has been super cool.
