Jerry,

I like the B&W pic of you playing your 620 onstage with your group. Or is that a 660? I've got a JG 620-12 which looks very similar..

Larry,
That's a 660/12 TUR.
I'll be playing it at IPO Aug.7
The pic was changed to B&W and blurred so I look younger Image

'Rickenbacker'...what a name! After all these years, it still thrills me.

But Melissa, FG is RED.

If there is one color that looks lousy on most guitars, it's YELLOW.Image

Ah, the Luddites...are they still together?

Perhaps Lance Armstrong could make a yellow guitar look good...

"Black and White" certainly does give a filtered view of the world .... at one point in 5th or 6th grade I thought that all the Beatles had black hair!

Just in case you are interested, the site listed below has some pictures of my band Pegasus playing in the Gardens in Vancouver in 1975. We opened for Rory Gallagher on his 75 tour through Canada.

My bass player is playing a Ric bass. I am playing a modified Les Paul Jr.
