There has been plenty of now photos floating around. Here is an old pic of me and my old (then new) Balladeer.
BTW...I'm the one on the right.

Like the commerical says'''"Nice pants".
About the Hamm's beer bottle. My Mom worked at a party store and came across things like that. Unfortunatly, it took a fall from a high shelf. I bet if I still had it I could trade it for a nice used Ovation.
Jack had the most girly girl hair I have ever seen. But yet, he did well! |

Now for pic #2 - You have the right to remain silent... but not the ability!
Very nice Brad! |

Judging by hair length I guess the other is '72.
Get lucky??? Give me a minute to scan another slide.
The event was a graduation, coming of age type ceremony for the "Rainbow Girls". It was some type of Masonic lodge thing. We had strict intructions not to be in or even near the the ceremony itself. It was quite secretive.
I think we were the only guys there. |

The same shirt??? That's great. I wish I could do the same. I'm working on it.
Even thought it's just a material thing, there is something special about having the same guitar for 30 years. |

Location: Phoenix AZ | Photos add 10 lbs (per decade). Yes, the shirt is a bit tighter fit these days, but I'm told that's the style now. Guitar had an interesting 30 years. Hey Tony, should I send you the shirt for safe keeping?
Actually I was thinking I would save the shirt to be cremated in when I die. Just thought that would be kind of cool. The logo on the shirt is a bar in Belmar NJ which says "The Last Straw". Again, kind of a nice statememt to the crematorium.
