Nice job, Greg. Looks like it was factory made!

Back in 1973 I had lunch and about 3 or 4 Bloody Mary's with Tito Puente.

You get one guess what we talked about all afternoon! D' Drummer lol

Attn: Vinny-Boom-Batz,

Check you email bro. There is a 1968 Keystone Ludwig Acrolite in cherry condition on its way to you as we speak. I PM'd you a USPS tracking number. Please, accept the drum as a thank you for all you've done for me.

I send my warmest regards...

John

well done!!Bowing

Mercy! Can I get a witness?The Band

Hey man, Vinny really went out of his way for me, I -had to- do something for the guy to show my appreciation. Nothing says Lovin' like a fresh drum from the oven for a drummer! I hope Vinny posts some shots of the acro when he gets it. There isn't a mark or a ding anywhere on the drum. It's an all original super clean 68' Ludwig snare with keystone badge, P-83 strainer and butt plate and the original heads. I love acro's and I know Vinny does too. It's a perfect thank you for his grand and very generous gesture to me.

You da man, Vinny! Bowing

John

John:

That's a very sweet gesture from you hermano. You didn't need to do it. I wasn't expecting any kind of retribution. I thought someone here would appreciate the drums and Im very happy that it was you. I certainly love Acros. Ill keep it forever as a gift from a friend...more than that an "Hermano baterista"

Vinny

Hey Vinny, when you see how clean she is, you're going to freak out. I only wish I could be there to see your face when you open the box.

Thank you... you are a good man, you deserve it.

John

Hey Purdie,

anything you need from OZ? Kangaroo, Koala Bear, Vegemite??

Cheers

LOL - Vegemite! Now there's some right nasty tasting stuff! I'm just glad that me and Vegemite are separated by an ocean! Falling Do

John

I agree! You OZ folks are tough! I tried Vegemite once... that's it, once. Now, if you'd like to send a case of Tim Tam's, or even a case or six of Coopers (I think the 'Vintage?' in case there's more than one) well then I'd happily send you a note thanking you profusely, maybe. :)
