cmatthes Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 Truly an epic journey. Thanks Gene and to all who have shared in the travels of Wyldbil over the years. I thought about him every time there was a post or update, and know that he'd have been beyond tickled to see this happening. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
django49 Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 (edited) I actually just found a short video made during the # 5 time here a few years back. Pure s**t playing of the guitar on a cell phone straight outta the shipping box after a few beers, but I am not proud. Let me see if I can find a way to share it. IIRC we also did a first run through on "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" where it was clear 3 people had never played it before.....With my vocal on top of the hot mess. Probably a good thing if that take never surfaces! Edited December 14, 2020 by django49 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTMN Posted June 9, 2021 Author Share Posted June 9, 2021 Just reread through the thread and I gotta say this was one of the coolest guitar things I have ever been involved in. You folks made it happen. I really got lax a few times letting it sit and I see a few folks got left out that really wanted a visit. Maybe a second trip out after COVID really clears. 😎 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tommy p Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 My wife found an old GoPro-type video camera she had and was clearing off the saved videos when she found this from 2014! I didn't even know it existed. Sorry about my stupid intro trying to describe the guitar. lol 12 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WyldJon Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 Hello! I submitted a post a long time ago that never made it through I think .... but I am Jonathan, Wyldbil's nephew. I was listening to a band he introduced me to years and years back this morning (Kidsnack) and it reminded me of this forum so I just wanted to drop a quick note again to say how amazing it is seeing y'all still playing his guitar(s) all these years later. Just because I would imagine it's been a while since this guitar has seen the light of day, here is a pic of another one of his guitars that ended up with me 17 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never met your uncle (in person) but had several exchanges with him, both on the board and via email/private message. I will always remember him fondly. He was always a welcome contributor on this message board. Thanks for posting! 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Haynie Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 Same here. Wyldbil traded some CD's with me. Sarah sent some of his guitar picks to HFC members. I have his red Sunburst. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTMN Posted July 29, 2023 Author Share Posted July 29, 2023 Welcome to the fray. Good to see another of Bil’s guitars. I am the originator of sending the Wyldbil Pirate Special #5 around and while some of the links in the thread don’t link anymore we did good spreading the spirit of music around for about 6 years. Can’t believe it made it across the country and back. 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
