Seems all my decent ones are packed away in boxes and not scanned.... most all the ones from my digital camera are dark and/or blurry.

So here are a couple oldies I already had scanned:

One of the first bands I played in, I'd been playing out about 2 years at this time. I'm the nerdy one on the right with the Gibson Super 400:

Image

Playing an acoustic duo at a private fundraiser, that's at-the-time U.S. Vice President Walter Mondale, I'm second to the right in the lighter hat:

Image

Playing steel in a small "studio theater" in Nashville, that's Marty Stuart on guitar behind me:

Image


Playing in the worship band at Central Christian Church in Las Vegas, I'm again on the right, by the horns:

Image

Playing guitar with Johnny Farina in Mexico City last August, camera accidentally set to black and white, I'm on your left this time:

From an article in the Indianapolis Star a couple of months ago,
here's me:

Image

and I'm playing with two of the best Western swing musicians in the Midwest, Jamie Walter (bass) and Slick Andrews (guitar, vocals):

Image

We normally have a full band (twin electric lead guitars, drums) but this was a last-minute "night before" show I booked, so we made do with what we had....and it went over great!

Jim, someone with a Gibson Super 400 is hardly a nerdy one Image

Hanks, part II:

Is it wrong to play an Emmons and wear a Sho-Bud t-shirt?
Image

Beats this shirt, I guess. Asbury Park, New Jersey. I think my first gig ever. All I was doing was raising and lowerering my e's. Heck, my LKL and LKR weren't even unfolded! Image

Jussi,

Me & my band "Country Junction". This is at our regular saturday night gig, The Dog House Tavern in Guthrie KY. I'm playing the Emmons P/P, that's Alan Rudd on lead guitar, Jim Worley on bass, and we now have a new drummer "Roy Parker" who is not in this picture. Hey, would you like to hear a MP3 audio sample of us, just click on to our website at www.countryjunctionband.com <font size="1" color="#8e236b"><p align="center">[This message was edited by Nick Reed on 03 December 2005 at 11:49 AM.]</p></FONT>

I don't know how to post pics on the SGF, but I did send a picture of me playing live to another web site quite some time ago, and it's still there.
http://www.planet.eon.net/~gsimmons/shobud/gallery.html

It's the second last photo in the thumbnail gallery, and in it I am playing PSG with a rock band, not a country band. Don't let the cowboy hat fool you.
