Post your old school pics!!!

[danktat]

I am 43 years old. And I was thinking. I have been playing for quite a long time. So, I figured it would be fun to see pix of some of you "old heads" in pix of yourself in your younger days playing guitar. PRS or some other fiddle....just OLD SCHOOL.....Here are a few of mine....

I do apologize for the photo quality on some of these. There was no digitial photography in those days. So, I am relying on scans of old prints.

So, post yours up....lets see em!

Man, I don't have any old school pics of me playing the guitar. I've got a couple of these though; I'm 51 now, and was probably 14 in the first pic and 15 in the 2nd.

Hard to make out in the pics, but I'm sporting old school Hawaiian pattern Vans. My shoe thing started early!

Love these - they look so American. We just don't have houses or cars (or trucks) quite like that in England. They look like they should be on the back of Nebraska.

I was watching some dorky documentary film (a revisionist history really) of Hardcore Punk Rock bands on my phone,and grabbed this screenshot of me:

There I am in the middle with (gasp!) a blue Guild Pilot bass, a baseball cap, sports team t-shirt, and a pair of f@cking jorts on....

The journey to become who I am now was totally jacked.

Close, Iowa. Opposite side of the state from Nebraska, though.

I had hair then, too. And an Aria II Flying V.

And a Les Paul copy (and flexibility).

The drummer (in the middle) is my concert buddy and best friend. Still.

Screen shot from a Super 8 movie my college band’s drummer’s girlfriend took of our band playing a festival on the Diag at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor; recently he surprised me by sending a thumb drive with the video that was made when he had some old home movies digitized. First time I ever saw it was this year. Talk about a time machine!

Summer...1970. I’m playing a Key Bass with my left hand, organ with right. Busy boy. Also, we had a roadie named Big Sue who set everything up for gigs. Oh, and a van with the band logo. Big time.

When my son saw the video, he texted me:

“Wait — you were cool?”

A sample of my misspent youth, that was most definitely wasted on the young!
