Nice Pic :)

I don't have anything recent but here's a couple of pics of when I used to play live in a band in the 90s. These were taken in the rehearsal studio and I'm the gawky lookin' kid with the red shirt and explorer shaped guitar :P

Here is one from an open Jam in my garage a few years ago. I'm on the far right.  The two on the far left are in a gigging band playing around town now.

Well if we are going to open up the time capsule here is one from 1985 when I was 18 years old.  I am the one with the bass in the blue shirt.  The others are my brother-in-law John and my ex-sister-in-law Nancy.

A street party last summer,  I'm the singer, my PRS Hollowbody II through a Mesa Nomad....probably too loud, and I a bit flat on a couple of vocal notes. 

And another

If we are going to open up a time capsule!!!!   This is from about 1964.  I'm the guy with the bass, far left (stage far right.)   I don't remember the circumstances that I had this Hofner Bass for the photograph because I actually played a Fender Bass.  I just vaguely remember borrowing it for the photo.

Was this a Skiffle band?  It certainly looks like it could be.

Very cool picture.

My brother-in-law:D.  Funny story with that....Early in our first set, the drums quit. The band played on of course. I heard my BIL cussing up a storm (drowned out by our guitars fortunately so the crowd heard nothing), then came back after 30 seconds or so. Seems his son had inserted his sticks too tightly into the holder and after one of them broke, my BIL kept trying to pull them out and they would go flying out of his hands one by one until he had none left. The moral is, hide the drummer if at all possible as anything is possible with him.

Here's a picture of the guys I play with. Between the five of us, we play 6 string, 12 string, electric, mandola, bass, banjo and keyboard. After three years we have a 50 song library and we are constantly adding songs at each practice. We practice once a month combined with craft beer tasting. We have about two gigs a year (non paying). I have never had so much fun in my life.

No Unc,

Strictly pop covers.  Beatles, Stones, Kinks, Simon and Garfunkel, Animals, Beach Boys, The McCoys, etc.

Here's my neighborhood band, "Uncommon Ground", at our holiday party in December. I have a G&L Tribute Strat ("Judi" is her name). We had a blast.

Greg, it means a lot to me to play music together with her. I truly cherish those moments.
