Norman,when you say "The Last of" surely where there is life there is hope. Wink They sound like the Gabby Band. What do you think Ron is playing? It almost looks like a Ric with added binding-like stripes.

As far as 'family' carrying on the Rogers tradition beyond Ron, it's probably in the hands of Ron's student Timi Abrigo who already has a good grip on the style, and he's still very young.

Ron playes a Rick B6, converted to lefty, that had a serious neck snap, the white is covering up the damage and is continued as pin-stripping.
