I have prepared a short speech on Ritchie Blackmore, WW II planes and the copious benefits of anal sex - topics that fit anytime, anywhere, anyplace.

I also wish to clarify during my speech how Led Zeppelin is overrated!

Yesterday The Gibson Bass Book was officially presented at the Gibson showroom in the A'dam Tower, Amsterdam.
Uwe was there with his lovely wife Edith and his son Leon.
Chris was there.
Rinus Gerritsen was there.
And about 50 friends / familymembers.

An enjoyable evening!


Chris with his beloved bicentennal Thunderbird


I did a little speech


Rinus got the book and told us about the EB-3 he used for Radar Love


My lovely Floor and good friends Mick and Edward on stage with Rinus doing an impromptu version of Radar Love


In the background there's Uwe


Looking at the deteriorating banjo tuners of Rinus' EB-0 (1958)


I was a bad boy; snuck in a Robson (top row, second from left). Nobody noticed  ;D

 That's just so cool! 

Congratulations on the book and the event Rob!


 I'm late to the book party - asked for it as a Christmas gift. Am suffering with great impatience  ;)
