'65 Ludwig WMP Super Classics

[MikeChandler]

Just got this one-owner kit from Alabama. This is nearly mint condition, just needed some cleaning up, only the usual slight yellowing/fading.
This is like my very first kit, when I was nine....that was...uh...41 years ago!?!?
I am so happy!

Gorgeous WMP Super Classic you have there!

Hey, thanks!

You know, it's kinda like I felt when my sons were born!
Well, OK not quite...but you get the idea.

I've been wanting this for so long. Mid-life crisis, ya understand...
:D

Thanks for posting that pic Mike, it takes me back to 1969 when my Dad took me for a ride to have a look at a used 1965 WMP Ludwig Outfit listed in our local paper. I'll never forget walking down those basement steps, turning the corner to the left and seeing what ended up becoming my first Kit, complete with Golden Tone Cowbell & Zildjian Cymbals...........

I now live in the small town where we "found" that Kit, which was located less than a mile from Donny Brewer's house, and everytime I drive by the place I have a flashback looking at that porch where I stood in eager anticipation so many years ago...........

Thanks again!!

Great post, thanks!

Quite possibly the best part of getting "older", is the fond memories of simpler, happier times.
