Well, now what?
« on: April 12, 2020, 09:55:59 PM »
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.

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!

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!

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!

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?

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...

That was Terry’s. We had a serious bunch of strings in that band for sure. More strings than sense.
