Dating Service? Nah.
But I have recurring fantasies of a RMMG BBQ/jam.
Really.

You know, believe it or not, this isn't really that "far out" of an
idea. In fact, I've been thinking about it myself for quite some
time...
(I know that the following is really long, but read it anyway...)
Another group of enthusiasts that I'm associated with holds frequent
rallies and get togethers throughout the year. I've been to a few, and
they're a blast! They attract members and friends from all over the
world to gather and share the passion for their common obsession. They
bring their favorite "items" to show off and be seen with. They
compliment each other's gear and share fantasies about what really is
the "ultimate" piece of hardware. They meet in pubs, bars, parking
lots, recreation halls, and hotels worldwide. They usually combine
their meetings with swap meets, trade shows, and other related events in
order to strengthen the excuse to get together, meet, share tips and
tricks, and party with people they've only met through letters, phone
calls, the internet, and of course, other such events.
The people I'm speaking of are the Scions of Lucas (SOLs) and other
related groups, all British car enthusiasts. Once you've driven a
British car, it seems you're either a fanatic or you'd rather walk. It
seems similar to learning to play guitar in some ways.
Seriously friends, we could all arrange to tack a "Stevie" event onto
the tail of whatever big guitar/amp trade show or swap meet we hear
about. Because there are many events already taking place, they would
naturally rotate to different areas of the world so we could all attend
at least one. The Guild of American Luthiers, among others, might be
gracious enough to let us piggyback now and then. The only trouble
would be trying not to tack a "Stevie" event to the tail of all of
them... they'd lose the feeling of being special events.
In addition, we could choose one event that takes place near a
historically significant guitar place as each year's Mecca. Everyone
would have an unspoken obligation to make all reasonable attempts to
attend, just like we SOL's do. Probable Mecca locations would include
Nashville, The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, the Fender
factory in Fullerton, the original Martin workshop, the first Marshall
amp factory, etc... Maybe even the original Samick factory or a Sovtek
tube plant, hell, I don't know! TN, Cleveland, CA, PA, England, Korea,
or Russia would make a hell of a vacation, wouldn't it? When's the last
time your guitar chose your vacation destination for you?
The first year would probably be weak, maybe even lame, but I'm sure it
would grow like wildflowers after a spring rain in a freshly burnt
meadow. If only a dozen or so people show up the first year, I'm sure
by the fifth, we'll have a couple hundred people or so all claiming that
they were there; that they attended the First Annual Akatemy of Stevie
Bar-B-Que, and I wouldn't give a damn at all, it'd be fun anyway! (And
by the 5th major bash, I might actually have my British car running well
enough to drive it to the event!)
Bye!

Does that mean you have to be one to attend? Hmmm? I prefer
the rec.music.makers.guitarbecue moniker. Not that I wouldn't
try to make it to the event, regardless...

Sounds like a really great idea. The only Stevie I have met in person
is The One True Stevie Robb. Helluvanice guy.
I'd love to meet more.
Hey! I have an idea! Let's all go to Carlll's this weekend!

Of course not! But if a Stevie asks a Stevie-in-Waiting to get
him/her another beer or Yoo-Hoo, the SIW must say, "Yes, sir. May *I*
have another..."

I'd think that if you showed up, any two Stevies present would
immediately make up some sort of impromptu drinking and/or guitar
initiation ritual on the spot. Problem solved.
I certainly wouldn't be checking credentials at the door if someone was
interested enough to come. Especially if they brought beer, ribs,
pickles or chips! ;-)

It does not matter though, because you are going to be walking much of
the time anyway.

As far as newsgroup habitues go, the regulars in rec.arts.books
often get together when one happens to be in another's city.

Oy, I *know* Lucas, having ridden a Triumph 650 for a good long
time. Imagine the feelings of an astronaut, strapped in and the
countdown approaching zero, as he notices a little plaque on the
instrument panel reading "Electrics by Lucas."

I guess the thought of tourists taking pictures drives some folks right over
the edge eh?
Now here is something completely different...
Moveable 7th chord shape:
1 e |-----|-----|-----|--O--| 4 5
2 B |-----|--R--|-----|-----| 1 R
3 G |-----|-----|-----|--O--| 3 b7
4 D |-----|-----|--O--|-----| 2 3
5 A |-----|-----|-----|-----| X
6 E |-----|-----|-----|-----| X
Watch your finger spacing as you move around the fretboard.
Cheers and have much fun,

I'm going to organize some gatherings soon. One in NYC area, and one in
Boston area to try and get a bunch of RMMG'rs together. Only problem, the
place will be filled with G.A.S. ;-)

I used to live in Hoboken, (just across the river from Manhattan), which had
the highest density of bars per square mile anywhere on the planet. Then
they demolished four city blocks of almost all bars (and brothels) when the
port closed and the waterfront business went away for 'urban renewal' in the
late '60s. So the Guinness book of records came back to check if Hoboken had
lost its status. It hadn't.
Now they had an annual pub crawl in Hoboken. It was an ordeal known to make
strong men blanch, and even stronger men puke. It made the Baja 1000 look
like a bike rodeo. It's the kind of thing one expects Stevie Steve Kellet
might approve of. I hope they still do it.
Now what if you had a guitar store crawl? Just a thought...

It's been said that the reason the British drink warm beer is that
Lucas makes refrigerators... <g>

Not nessesarily. Just because you enter a guitar store, doesn't mean you
have to buy anything. It would be fun to just go and window shop.
