In the meanwhile I have found a few mistakes, that I just knew would pop up after the book had been printed. 
for example:
- sixties t-bird necks are not nine ply
- epi EB-3 is not short scale of course
60ies Rev Birds are generally nine-ply. Only the first ones made in 1963 aren't.
Only 60ies Non-Revs are all
not nine-ply.
But then you wouldn't want there to be no mistakes, how is the 2nd Edition gonna be even better then?!
I'm coming up for air, terribly busy right now, pre-Christmas workload plus both my father and my mother-in-law are in hospital at short notice - carotid artery narrowing (his darn smoking!) and colon issues/dehydration (why doesn't she ever drink enough!), respectively.
It was lovely being invited by Rob, the book is more impressive than my collection, Floor sang great (and looked it too!) and, well, the bearded guy who nests with her played some nice bass on Fire & Water (he looked ok'ish ...), Chris
Warwickhoer was there too (someone had allowed her in, security was obviously lacking) and did the introduction honors, Rinus Gerritsen is a lovely man, had great stories to tell and no one plays Radar Love like he did that night again on that EB-3, talk about elegant sloppiness! Rob has a brother who is neither a Thin Lizzy nor a Led Zep fan (that is why Rob never mentions him) - they're not all bad in that family then.
And I learned a whole lot about Dutch dialects and accents - Rinus Gerritsen's accent was easiest for me to understand, he sounded a lot like Rudi Carrell
which is easy on (and familiar to) German ears, but whenever Rob speaks Dutch, I'm totally lost!!! There should be a law to make them all speak like Rudi Carrell, really.
Off to a hospital visit ...
