Kaman Employee Discounts (2005/2006)

Yep. -
The whole brouhaha over a silly halftime performance makes me think of how many of our grandparents would have complained that Up With People performing in the 70s was just "noise", and why couldn't they do a nice Sousa Marching Band or Some good old Glenn Miller hits?

Shouldn't that be in Dubbly?

I put it on Mute - no hate here, because I'm clearly not the demographic sought for that show. I didn't watch last year's, and honestly can't recall the last time I did see the halftime show. I know it's not for me, and I'm 100% fine with that. I also know that it could have been WAAAAAAAY worse.

NIce score, Travis! I may have lucked out too with mine. I took a few things I hadn't touched in years up to a local shop, thinking I'd get maybe $1,200-$1,500 in trade value for them all. The day before, I'd scouted out a killer playing and looking 50s Bourbonburst Standard, and also a Goldtop P-90 50s Standard that was a not-too-distant second. There was a cool Gretsch 6128 there too, but although I would move that into 3rd choice, it didn't trip my trigger like the burst. Went back in the next day with my trades, and they were MORE than generous - I was able to walk out the door with the LP I really wanted for ZERO cash beyond my trades! Love this guitar, and it's one of the best Les Paul's I've ever owned. They're really upping their game these days...

Ian Hunter from 45 years ago... Hamer Content
cmatthes replied to cmatthes's topic in Hamer Fan Club Messageboard
He's still kicking it at 85! He toured here in 2019, and has released 2 albums in the last 2 years. The man hasn't totally slowed down! -
Got my tickets for a 10pm showing tonight...

I LOVE that one! I've got a 6129 that I had Stike redo for me in a 2-tone green Sparkle - Coke Bottle Green Top, Teal back/sides. Those TV Jones T'Armonds are some of my favorites too! Seeing that same Caddy Green as yours at a NAMM Show in 2004 is what made me go with that finish on my Monaco 3 that I ordered that year. Great combo!

I went with a bunch of the MHS gang (Mark - I think Steve & Kristen Luiken and Shawn Pase drove) to see the '82 tour stop at JFK in Philly with the Clash/Hooters and suck-ass Santana opening. They were great - it was their "Farewell Tour", but I've seen them on 3 other similarly-named tours over the years with Entwistle, and 3 times after he died, including their very last go-round. I was pleasantly surprised at how well Daltrey held up over the years. He sounded stronger and better than he did 20 years ago, for sure!

Those things are rarer than hen's teeth! Good luck in your quest... -
Standard Case

I scored one from a member here last year, and it kicked my Dunlop Rotovibe to the curb the first time I plugged it in.

It's a 1984 KKV - KK Downing Model, based on the Hamer Vector platform.

Beware the new Sunburst Chaparral listing on reverb

Those seem to be rarer than hen's teeth these days, and would likely set a guy back $3k. It's not like it was around here 20-25 years ago, when there was a 4-digit or 90s B-8s up for sale for $1k or below every couple of months! I'd like to know where all of those ended up!
