Not aged bad at all, scroll down to bottom to see him as he is now, you techo guys will probably be able to identify the white guitar he's holding.

I can't be sure but it looks like he has a Dean Boca Custom 6 String guitar slung around his neck.

Glad to see he's still in action! I played the 45 In The Summertime til I wore out the grooves!

For some reason I'd always thought skiffle was more rockabilly sounding.

In response to Dave- I hope you were kidding.I think the term 'sold out' is laughable nowadays. Exactly what does that mean? Example- 'People are paying me to play my music'.

Yeah, what a 'friggin' nightmare.

In this tremendously overcrowded marketplace today, anybody who gets paid for their music should feel lucky. The ones who haven't SOLD OUT are still banging away with their blues records in the bedroom.

Steve,

Re:"The ones who haven't SOLD OUT are still banging away with their blues records in the bedroom."

Guilty on that account, but I don't cry about it. Plus I have a "music room" so it makes me feel like I did something at least. LOL.

I'd sell out in a minute. But nobody's buying!

Oh, I was kidding -- didn't you see my "rolling eyes" icon? Please don't raise the selling out spectre that appeared in the McCartney thread (whcih is what I was poking fun at).

Sorry Dave- The icon looked like he was pondering a price...

There goes the theory of smilies being a universal language.
