Hey Scott Moon......any chance that picture was taken in Sept '05 ? If so , we were there . Justin did a great job on "Unloved Unwanted". All in all , a great weekend in Bandera that also featured Billy Mata , Bobby Flores , and Jake Hooker.

Son, we live in a world with walls, and those walls have to be guarded by men with steel guitars. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Lt. Weinberg?

This photo is a bit small but this was a band I worked in with the late and great guitarist Ollie Halsall when I lived in Mallorca, Spain. That's Ollie on the far left, and I'm the other guitarist in the tacky silk shirt.

Since I multiple track my recordings, here's my band picture. If you look you can see eight of me at various stages of my life ! :lol:

In the original picture I was eating an ice-cream cone at the top of a cliff. :oops: I changed it to microphone, and since my hair was blowing in the wind, I tidied it up. The rest are all clipped from live pictures of me playing at various places which I cut and pasted ! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Former Sheriff Scott!
I got the photo somewheres in my files but don't know who sent them to me. I don't have any actual film prints, just downloaded shots. Let me check to see if I have any others with you in them.

The Chief will be at Scotty's, he's gonna sing with Buddy on one or more of his shows. I'm gonna embarass myself with a set, so maybe he'll grace me with his presence once more onetime. As Darrell would say, "he's the best durn singer you're ever gonna hear... in a long time!" ;)

Here's my submission...pics with a group that I fill in with up here from time to time...

Note that on the first two pics, everyone in the group is wearing shorts except for me. I drove straight in from playing a gig in Cleveland, OH the night before and they never told me that they were going to be wearing shorts ( I knew that they had a shirt for me.) Just as well though. I don't go for wearing shorts performing in a concert setting. (The first two pics were from a performance in an amphitheatre.

Me on steel...

From steel to brass...

Me on bass filling in with the same group approximately 7 months ago, and 30 lbs heavier. Man, get a load of those gold vests they chose to wear! :oops: on edit: Although now that I look at it, they may not look too bad if they wore white cowboy hats with 'em(?)
