I was reading the post below and saw many people play. We need to have a All Star Herp Jam. Maybe a benefit concert to raise money for me to buy more snakes!!!!
Here's some pics of my setup.

Your gear and setup looks awesome! That is one room I would never leave if I walked in..ha ha!

Now that's a classic drum kit. Looks like it's in great shape too. How old are those?....30 years? Very cool.

BTW, I'm all about a kingsnake jam. Daytona or Chicago?

I know of more than one herper that plays, it must go hand-in-hand somehow. I'm a bassist and I've played in many different bands. I'm currently in a 60's band and a church group. I'd love to do an 80's hardcore group someday, maybe a Rammstein tribute band. Getting a custom '51 reissue P on Friday, can't wait!

Bart! how the heck are you? long long time!! ever pair up that va n. pine I caught? you know I have not returned since and I know of no others collected since. are they that rare in the state of va? Is the pine still extant and may I see a pic? whatever became of him(her?). going to be in daytona this year? as for the herp and music passion, I also find it to be true. a huge proportion compared to the general public are involved in some kind of artistic pursuit(usually it is music) along with the herp mania. I think that it is our sensitivity to higher beauty that the avg joe public lacks that gives us these passions. whaddaya think? ps as an aside I have noticed a large proportion of lefties(myself included) with both passions.

Still have him, 17 years plus now. I'm also a lefty, it's easier to find instruments now, as long as you don't look for them in Connecticut. There is a prevailing attitude in this state that lefy basses are rare, I know otherwise. I have a number of them. I view instruments the way I view Pine Snakes; they're all different, and one or two is not enough.

lol. true, all true.i like your analogy of pine snakes to guitars. you gotta send me a pic of the old boy. were you as unaware as me as to the rarity of the n. pine in va 17 yrs ago? I will tell you this, if the habitat still remains where I traipsed around 17 or 18 yrs ago(and who knows, in this age of overdevelopment and habitat destruction)then at least in that proscribed area I'd bet there is a good population of n. pines doing their thing still.

Wow Howie that's a hell of a lot of questions in one post! Lol!!!
Post pics of the Va. Pine when yous guys gets a chance!
As soon as I figure out what box I packed my camera in I'll post photo's of my '62 Les Paul Special and Marshall JCM 800. I'm right handed though. Oh well.

hey Phil, so you are a righty. well, nobody's perfect. lol

I'll have to post some photos when I bring everyone up Howie. As for music, I have a full page at leftybass.com. Feel free to check it out.

Nice page Bart. Kind of like your complete bio on the one page. i really enjoyed pituophis.org which (please excuse my ignorance) didnt know existed. nice pics, but you should have posted the va pine as it is not represented in the n.pine photos.

All things in time.
