Anybody seen them on e-bay? I guess he's still alive and kicking, been trying to get ahold of him for some time, he's got a set of gon bops bongos I sent for repair about the same time as my sonocs, about 3.5 years ago. All my numbers get no answers. Anybody have his contact info could you PM me? I really just want them sent back, got them because they were small and my daughter could play on them, she was 11 then, 15 now.

Dayem Papa! That's around the same time I sent him my JCRs, conga and tumba..................
Somehow, unless he magically finds his "to do" list, and locates the drums he has on that list, I fear we will never see those drums in our life time. Could he be waiting for us to croak/kick the bucket/buy the farm/break on through to the other side/go back home/die?
I hope not, but CARAJO, it's been too long and even a chubby saint like me has his limits! He's had my drums since way back when I was good looking! I've sent him emails, too many to count, saying "hi" and wishing him well, but that was sooooo long ago! I've given up on him miraculously calling me and saying anything of comfort. If you get ahold of him, wish him well for me and let him know that I WANT MY DRUMS BACK TOO! :D :) :o

Shall we hire the SEALS team to go in after our stuff?

You know if you are an ebay member you can ask the seller questions
on any of the items for sale/auction page. I would try that and see
what happens. Or perhaps you could buy one the bells and get up to
date contact information on Matt if in fact is Matt the one selling
them bells.

I just did Papa! I'm anxious to hear what his bongo bell sounds like, I know his congas sound wicked! I will try and establish contact with him through this channel (ebay). Suave!

the man and get your JCR babies back.

Dang, he should at least send the drums back to you guys. Several years is waaaaay too long to wait to repair a few drums. I could maybe understand waiting for new drums to be made, but to hold onto a customers valuable drums for years and not communicate with them? I would be very angry if it was me and my drums.

Got ahold of him, he said he'll get to them in the next few weeks.
