Cool dude at the fleamarket

[fett]

I guess I left out he kicked me in the ass:ROTF: . He's just a fine person. I guess you have to be 55+ to know what I mean. BTW. He gave me his first CD and $20 as a finder's fee for the Harmony. Maybe, I should have bought it.

Did you tell him you wrote a thread about him here? Awwwwwwwww

[RacerX]

Maybe next time you see him you can tell him and maybe invite him out for beers then one thing leads to another and the next morning:

Steady on, Ron. It's not often that you meet a trully nice person. I guess it's a fleamarket thing. There are lots of them there. Maybe, it's the open air. Don't fucking knock it if you haven't tried it. Something tells me you couldn't be what I am at a fleamarket.

[RacerX]

I ain't knockin' it; just bustin' your balls a little. I actually am a pretty good cheapskate and I wish I could buy & sell like you!



You sure you ain't Dutch?

[fett]

I'm Cheapanese.:ROTF: I just thought that up.

[RacerX]

LOL - good one


Did you hear about my tiramisu buy at the 99 Cents Only Store?

See my 'roids reply. I have no idea what that is.

The Cool Dude struck again. But, I missed all but the last few minutes. I was surfing the radio and heard a slide tune that I thought sounded like the Dude. It was. He had a two-hour interview on our local jazz/blues public radio station. I saw him today at the fleamarket and I told him I missed it. He said he will try and get a tape of it for me. This guy is just awesome.

I like this pic on his website, I wonder if he can still do that move?

The "Cool Dude" strikes again. I saw him today at the fleamarket. He was impressed with the Squier 5-string bass I bought there last week. I told him I needed an Allen screw for one of the bridge saddles. They are bigger than what I have. Then I told him that the ground wire came off the jack. And I told him it was missing a string. He said, "Just bring it to me at the market. And I will fix all of that. Free" Yikes. I think he likes me.

I know I am quoting myself. I got the bass back today. It was a little more of a wiring problem that I expected. He spent about an hour making it all better. Found the screw and a string. Any idea what a shop would have charged? I guess $100. He said it was fun working on it. Just, one fine person. That's all I can say.

[RacerX]

Have you invited him here?

[fett]

Nope. He's a slide guitar blues oriented guy. Trust me. He has nothing in common with us.:ROTF: We were talking today and I said; "You are, at least, 4 years older than me." Back in the 60's that was a HUGE age difference. It was the difference between being old enough to live the scene and being on the tag end. Turns out he was born in 1949 and I was born in 1950. He did it and I was just an observer. And I quote from the Cool Guy; " At least, we had a good time.":ROTF: Don't get fucking old.
