No.  He's obviously facing a mirror and got a good look at that outfit.

Great shot! Anyone know what year this was taken? Looks like a fairly modern Alembic.  I'd also be curious as to how and when Mr. Johnson discovered Alembic and that slick outfit. It appears both are Series I's requiring their own power supply.
 
As an Alembic pilot, does he predate Stanley Clarke?
 
I find myself envious of one so young, talented and running an Alembic. The outfit? Not so much.

This photo is from 1977 I think. The book it was in is from 1977.

When is an ascot not an ascot...?

Flaps at 35%... ready for take off
 
My only fashion sins were involved with a burgandy corduroy outfit (Burgandy socks, shoes, pants, shirt and belt) I put together in the early 70s. According to a friend, I looked like a giant rasberry!

Somewhere on this earth there is a picture of me on stage in 1980 or 81 with a chocolate Music Man Sabre and a brown Seinfield-esque poofy sleeved shirt.  That's my fashion sin contribution to this thread.
 
Peace,

Hey guys, everybody knows that this outfit was happenin' in the seventies. It probably helped him get more tail than a toilet seat! Current rock,dance ,hip hop fashions are'nt any better and the young hip folks wearing these clothes have no business wearing them due to extraneous skin overflow!  ouch...
