I sent the article to a friend who is quite a big RS fan.  I'm sure he'll be very interested.

That story makes it seem even more amazing that Keef is still with us.

Keef's not wiv us... he's not been wiv us since he was pickled back in the sixties... I believe they cloned him several times though...

No cloning necessary. He probably just mixed a little formaldehyde in the pickling solution.

Anyway, still looking through the other articles. This story told me more about Orville Gibson than I had known before.

The BC Rich Seagulls seem a little out of place but I always liked them.  Fashion aside they're cool pictures  ;)

Never heard of the model before and now I've seen it, never want to see it again... ugly, imho...

Definitely ugly ducklings but they're somehow likeably ugly to me if there is such a thing.  I feel the same way about ovation magnums for some odd reason.

Liked those but only ever saw one once - Journey gig...

I always loved Ross Valorys sound with those. And the best part is you can get the later less ugly version too!
