Oh that old thing. I think I had that for about a year. I can't remember whether it was before or after the Hamer Special. The Rick was a nightmare. The bridge pieces inevitably fell out whenever I'd change strings. The master tone control was a freakish thing as well. The guitar always felt as though it was unable to go above around 8. I've never owned another Rick. Glad you like the calendar, I was afraid it had 368 days on it or something bad like no Tuesdays (maybe that wouldn't be so bad.) Happy Holidays to you, too; the MC-5 DVD set the tone for me this summer, and I'm eternally indebted.
Love
Peter

Glad you liked the MC5 dvd. Perhaps Wayne will find some holiday cheer and in the spirit of sharing with the rest of the world, finally allow the movie to be released in 2005...
