Anybody else getting bored? Racking my brain trying think of diversions - but the best I can come with tonight is , show your favorite old pic of yourself. I'll kick it off with one from the summer of '84.
Peter (who fears he no longer looks remotely like this....)

This is probably the earliest pic I have of myself playing bass. Probably 1973.
-
From the Old Fiddlers Convention in Galax, Virginia - 1990. I wonder where the rest of this bunch is today? I only ever hear from the guitar player. I last heard from the banjo player about 5 years ago. 7 or 8 gone by on the mandolin player. Ran into his brother at a festival in Buena Vista last year. Or was it the year before? My, my my... where does the time go? Mountain Legend was the first real working band I played in. We gigged every weekend somewhere... roughneck beer joints, Moose Lodges, parties, you name it. Not all of it was good times, but I wouldn't trade a second of it!
-
So who invented this double thumbing stuff? Me ca 1970, riding that low B for all its worth.
-
The one with the Jazz is 1969. The other 1973(me second from left). The jazz was stolen in 2000 but insurance money bought my Orion 4.
-
We played upside down then - it sounded better!

1969 photo.
-
This was around 1980. It was shot by my cousin who was a serious amateur photographer at the time. I call it my "Cat Stevens" picture and planned to use it on the cover of my first album!
Bill, tgo

Me in 1981, with my G&L L-2000 fretless.
-
Hard decision, but I think it has to be this one. That's me on the left with the white-guard Tele.
-
Any idea what kind of 12 string your bandmate is playing?
Bill, tgo
-
Looks like a Vantage.
-
I was trying to remember that myself. It was either a Vantage or a Carvin. Vantage I think. Terry is one of those rare birds for whom the actual guitar just doesn't matter. He sounds great on anything.
-
Whose banjo? Looks like some upper-end plinkety-plink there...
(it had to be me to ask that...) ::)
-
That was Terry’s. We had a serious bunch of strings in that band for sure. More strings than sense.
-
My money's on Vantage; one of my early (as in work-for-beer-and-weed) roadie gigs, one of the guys had 2 Vantages, a 6 & a bass, and that looks like it would fit right in between them.

-
"More strings than Sense" Sounds like a band name! Is that your Les Paul Recording? I had one back in the '70's.
-
It’s not mine but I used it on that gig. It belonged to the bass player. It was a nice guitar for sure. It was in our musical “family “ for a decade or so before Jim sold it.
-
May I have another turn?
About a year later (June 22, '85) with, David, our youngest, at Alpine Valley; I've always felt bad I let him get to 7 weeks old before I took him to a show.................
