I did like his kitchen guitar playing.

I also loved that his kitchen was a classic example of New England kitchen architecture (he lived in Rhode Island, as I recall).
I still subscribe to his channel hoping for new songs.

Here’s one of his best; dedicated several years ago to our own Very Rusty

Pretty good you guys, your Search-Fu is better than mine. I went looking and couldn't find any.

I do remember he used to post in .MOV format. He preferred the Apple QuickTime format.

Most of them left this site perhaps? Do you recall some of the names? HandyAndy, Sunburnt maybe?
There were photos, including the names, of all those pictured but I can’t find them on here. There was a meetup thread but I’m not sure if this RI photos were on it or just on a “site” set up by someone. There was a couple from Philly, a few from Phlabs area, another husband and wife, Handy Andy’s wife and a few others. I had those picks on my old laptop but it was hacked years ago and I wasn’t able to get access and certainly wasn’t going to give the perps the satisfaction of paying their ridiculous “price” to not only get it up and running but maybe the likelihood that it’d just be the “downpayment”. 😡

He was a funny fart for sure!!! 😉

I still believe he is lurking in the shadows here.

His YouTube channel is called “Barbutt”.

But you can easily find it via one of the links above > watch on YouTube > go to channel > subscribe.

When I was first here there was a link under “community” to a microsite called “RHP Faces”.
It was a portal for member photos with their RHP username. I suppose as personal privacy became more prevalent that Russ decided to take it down.

Couple of very old threads about it here 👇

Yes there was also a link to “meet ups” which had several from London, two in Dublin and the Rhode Island one.

The good old days before the internet became a s-show of scams and doxing.

The Dublin ones were hilarious as many were extremely intoxicated, asleep on benches and pouring beer over each other 😂

Ya it was…well some of the participants seemed “well oiled”. Oh for those days when things ever soooo much less…complicated and more, “here I am, warts and all”.

Why can’t we revert to those days? I mean, come on. Life is too short to be so..

We can never go back to anything, all our experiences are like clouds passing in the sky and our memories subjective recollections. This is what I have learned. 🙂
