Purdie: good stuff. The trio sounds perfect for "gettin' the lead out" whereabouts do you live? I used to live in Stony Point, NY when I played rock in the 70's. The Dave Mell Blues Band sounds cool. Love to catch their show sometime. Last time I played a gig was too long ago. Feelin the itch that's gotta be scratched. Thanks for the welcome!

Hello Hugh! good to see you on VDF.
To everyone else, Hugh is a great person, I got to know him recently from the Rogers Owners Forum. Hugh so kindly offered me a badge for my Koa Rogers project. I will be putting his on my bass drum in a few weeks.
The others are correct, this is a very good forum with lots of very nice people. a few goofballs here but thats normal.
See ya around, and now you have to show your kit!

Hi Hugh.....small world! I was born in Morristown, grew up in Randolph and Roxbury and Budd Lake was just down the road. Nice to meet 'ya!
Hey df: small world indeed. Would sometimes get off Rte.80 West and take Rte. 46 West thru Morristown, over the mountain and on into Budd Lake. Where are you now? Thanks for the welcome!

I'm in the middle of Illinois, by Springfield. I was brought to this site by Alex

> whereabouts do you live?
Last 6 years, Reading, PA. Born and raised in Manhattan (Washington Heights, just the other side of the GW Bridge.) My only ventures into NJ when I was growing up was, Palisades Park and the pool just across the bridge in Paramus. Played a ton of gigs all over NJ in the late 60's/early 70's. After awhile, all those bars and towns start to look the same, but I do recall playing in Camden, Newark, Point Pleasant, (on a pier by the beach,) and Tom's River. There were others, I just don't recall the names of the places or towns... so long ago.
Does the name; Charlie Padro ring a bell with you?
Good to have you aboard, man. Post some shots of your kit.

If that's the same kit I saw when I picked up the LBP Slingerland kit from Alex it's a really sweetie!!! I think he had just got them and wow they were mint.
