Shaftsbury? That's an ale isn't it? David you had a faker on stage with you? No wonder it was on the floor.

Well, as close to "yoot" as i can get. Never been a "take-a-picture-of-me" type of person, in fact. Me, aged about 18 (my too long hair is not seen, fortunately, but the bracelets are there). Now i wonder where's that guitar now...

circa 1981.

Christmas, 1965; a Beatles turtleneck & a Harmony acoustic.

Here is one from 1969. I will have to dig for the "others" shot.

Sadly, the only pic left from the good old days is a newspaper clipping about my 3rd band.2 of them have died,one is mia and I'm the only player left.

You know Biscuti and J-dog are welcome to post pix from 2-3 years ago. You know, when they were pre-teens.

(and that's "yoot', as in youth, I loved "My Cousin Vinny")

Biscuti is the real youngin' here! I've got 3 years on him! That's a huge difference!

Oh, fine.


Second gig ever! February 2002, Staten Island. My hair was still in it's "awkward phase" of growth. Premier P-Bass copy, with "Premier" logo sanded off and "Savior" logo drawn on. Savior was the band. We were real heavy metallers. Right. Aged 16.


One of my first gigs with my #1 4003, which I got in March 2002. This was in May at the famous L'amours in Brooklyn, now closed.


December of '02, banging my head, rockin' the 4003!

Hmm. What about Nate, then?

Well, since i don't think i'm much older than J-Dog... actually, i'm afraid i'm a coupla months younger... year 2000. Acoustic, Sheena and Max (the rat).

From J-dog:

Hey John. Would you please post this for me in the Others, in the yoot pic thread? It's my swing band Tri City Trio in 1997 at Insomnia, a coffeehouse that's since closed. Thanks dude -J



(That's J on the right, speaking no evil)

"at the famous L'amours in Brooklyn, now closed"

You do like closing down places, huh?

Once me or JB go somewhere, the property value goes right down Mr. Toilet.

same year, I think that was a Kay, nice playing guitar
