June 5,2009 I just had a couple of FANTASTIC days. Eric Weissberg and a friend rode their motorcycles down from New York. They arrived Tuesday evening. On Wednesday we took off on the bikes for a day of premier mountain riding. The route took us to Lake Ocoee, Reliance Tennessee, and on to the "Tail of the Dragon", US Hwy 129 from Vonore, TN to Deals Gap, NC, 318 curves in 11 miles. We returned via the Cherohala Skyway from North Carolina back into Tennessee, Through Tellico Plains, TN and back to Cleveland. That night we had a few close friends over and were treated to an impromptu concert by Eric as well as some fascinating stories of his career and the details regarding the making of Deliverance. I had the opportunity to play Dueling Banjos, or at least "Doodling Banjos" with Eric. I will be adding some photos of his visit and our ride as soon as I can. The link will be added here. Also, in a conversation last summer, I mentioned that I had frequently thought of doing a Deliverance strap. He thought the idea was great, so I proceeded with the project and it came out very well. I will be adding a page about the strap soon. They are limited Edition, serial numbered and I have a few which are colorized AND personally signed by Eric.
Also, quite a few new entries are being made under Famous customers, most with additional information if you click on their name. I hope to make a few more changes & additions in the coming few days. Please check back.
