Musicians

We opened for them at a festival. (Actually, we opened for the band that opened for them.)
They were all very friendly. They had THEIR crew making sure we were happy & had everything we needed.
We hung out with them for a good 2/3rds of the middle band's set.
Bun E. was a little shy, but still a nice dude. Rick & Robin were very outgoing, telling stories from the club act days.
Rick brought over 40 guitars to the show, watched over by an armed guard! A lot of them were those custom finish models Hamer was throwing at him every other week.
I got to play his "coffee table" guitar. His tech had that setup absolutely perfect.
I also played his famous 5 neck. I don't know how he played that thing standing up. First, it was heavy! Second, I'm not sure I could reach the bottom neck.
Here's a link to an article with a pic of him playing it.
