uncle fester Posted October 14, 2020 Author Share Posted October 14, 2020 Thanks for the replies everyone... Shout out to mihcmac, JDGM, and Tman for pictures of rockin' through the years... each with something from the 70s. Sparq very cool hanger shot - Scales - look like you've got a group of serious rockers Merciful E - get's arts fartsy award for his first couple, the double extra kudos for the resp BBP - another nice pic and looks like your are intensely focusing on hammering out that riff... Anyone I missed - apologies, truly loved looking at all of these. Here's to better days to come to allow more of these shenanigans! -------- Notable mention to SteveFord and the vid... LOL! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparquelito Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 I can't eat sweets, but as I recall, the attendees to the party reported that it was a really delicious guitar cake. I crafted the cake myself, after I learned that the (admittedly good-intentioned) host of the 50th birthday party had ordered a tombstone cake, and was planning to decorate in black crepe paper and all that mourning-style nonsense. Guitars = a celebration of life. 😐 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy sitting down was having knee issues. He left the band shortly after this gig for health reasons. That's a Martin acoustic - I had to be the one man band for this gig. Very cool - love me a little bit of doo wop. How come you didn't get a white jacket? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

merciful-evans Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 Just found this one. Vinyl Frontiers at a waterside gig (Hill Head - Lee On Solent). The lady sax player stood in for Steve Masters on that occasion while he was hospitalised. Its was a pretty location on a warm summer's day. We played a later gig there also inside the restaurant close by. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was old tech even in 71, a Bogen PA cabinet with six 8" speakers. A mixture old and new equipment was the norm for us, as I remember the Bogen cabs didn't hold up for long.
