How about a thread where you post early shots of you playing guitar. Here's me and my first duo partner playing at a fantastic club in Gainesville Florida while attending the Univ of Fla, 1976. Yikes...40 years ago.
The Great Southern Music Hall was the premier performance hall back then, and famous acts from all over played there. I normally played solo downstairs in the Wine Cellar, occasionally upstairs at the Backstage Bar, but certainly never made it to the "big stage". Sadly, the place closed down many years ago.

I'm on the right, playing a vintage Gibson

Hey, Bob, I have some pics I can send but was curious how you got the pic to show up in the post instead of just the link. Thanks!

Nice pic, by the way.

4 years old? Circa 1978-79

First jam with my Uncle Paul (we would have many more over the years). he taught all his nephews how to play and passed away far too young about 20 years ago. My Aunt gave me his old mandolin a while back, the one I'm playing in the pic, just had it all fixed up good as new by a luthier friend.

I'd post a picture but I look the same. Once a dork, always a dork. Now just an older one......

Here's a shot of me in pre O days with my 1980 Takamine EF360s, a pre-lawsuit model. Taken in about 1981

I still have the Tak, and still love it.

I've never posted this one before...
And Bob... I so much know what your going to post I'm sure I could write if for you.

Oh well ... after 6 or so tries on something I've done many times before, photobucket is just not co-operating.
Guess it was just not meant to be.

My God. I am ALMOST ashamed.

Going back through some old pics and, for some unGODly reason, almost every pic of me with a guitar in my hands has me in a leisure suit. Shirt collars that I could almost trip over and colors that Crayola would be ashamed of. I'm quite sure that Barnum & Bailey would have turned me away for being "too loud".

And, no. No way. Ain't gonna happen no how so let's keep the crowd moving. There's nothing more to see here...

(I've gotta go start a fire now...)

Oh no, Brad... You ain't getting off that easy. This photo deserves public exposure.

You, know, it's really tough to put THAT much effort into a Herman Hermits song....

Jeez....Gordon Lightfoot!


And I do a pretty reasonable finger-style version of If You Could Read My Mind.

Problem is nowadays all my hair is white, well what's left
