HarpBoy Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 I'm the dude with the devil eyes playing harp. That's my daughter to my right. She's an amazing talent. This was a benefit at a private club that are supporters of the Scottish Rangers Soccer Club a couple of years ago. You can't see him, but my buddy Phil is rocking with me on a B3 off to the left of the picture. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordy01 Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 RSDx - I've played upon invitation with a local church band' date=' my next-door neighbor tossed a song list to me with song keys. I think their jaws hit the floor when we played "If we are the Body" by Casting Crowns - I played the first verse in a churchy manner, but when the second verse and chorus came along I gently kicked in the Gibson 498T in the bridge and added some muted CRUNCH and perfectly matching lead tags, then full BOOM when second chorus came around. IT BELONGED! MY inner being told me so! Too hot for the older crowd, I guess?[/quote'] We play that song all the time in our church. And yeah, some of the older folks kinda squirm a bit!! But the message is a good one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlanH Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 .... Great images!!!! Here's one of my last gigs (1987 at the Roxy). It was a sad time for me because even at the age of 21' date=' I was starting to feel too old for it all... Probably because I had lost two band mates that were killed whom were original founding members that I grew up with since grade school..... I still think about them often. Anywhoo, I'm the dude with the pink Moser strat....LOL [img']http://i557.photobucket.com/albums/ss17/duanevalle/GROUP.jpg?t=1255117373[/img] What was your band called Duane?

Amino Moore Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Here's a few of me. I am trying to collect pics from old band mates. 3 piece Christian Funk rock band From the 90's (I'm on the left) With number one son at coffee house gig Recent outdoor Fall Festival in my town Gotta put my up pic of me with Phil Keaggy! An amazing guitar player and a truly nice guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amino, Phil is an amazing musician and it's a shame he is not mentioned more often. One of my favorite guitar players. I love his telling the story of the time he finally got to meet Sir Paul Mccartney. Great stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amino Moore Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Hey Cookieman, Yeah Keaggy is one of my biggest inspirations. I've seen him live twice. The first time was in the early 90's with members of Chagall Guevera (Chagall Guevera is still one of my all time favorite CD's) during the "Crimson and Blue" (another amazing CD) era he was playing that old Les Paul plain top and a Zion strat through Vox AC's it was a great show. Met him again in 2007 when that pic was taken. He was solo that night. It was a benefit for Down's Syndrome. It was Keaggy, an acoustic guitar and a digitech Jam man. Basically a full band. LOL! He would lay down a loop of percussion from tapping on the guitar body in various places. then a bass loop from the low E and A strings on top of that. Then he would layer a rhythm guitar part and then solo over the top of that. He even did back up vocal loops by singing into the soundhole! Alternate tunings, unusaul scales, impeccable technical skills and only 9 fingers. I was at once inspired and frustrated. I brought along the LP sleeve from the first Keaggy album I ever owned, a live LP with 2 ch Acts, and not only did he sign it he talked to me about that tour as if he had nothing better to do. Most artists I've met would not even look at you when they signed an autograph. Keaggy is a class act. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookieman15061 Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Yeah I've seen him live 3 times. Twice solo and once during the Glass Harp reunion in their hometown of Youngstown, Ohio. Great night! He was doing awesome things back in the late 60's and early 70's on guitar. LOL and still today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vomer Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 I knew I had a pic or two somewhere. And playing an Epiphone to boot. Is it a Riviera? I seem to recall it was dark red or burgundy. I didn't like it much, slightly dead sound, didn't jangle for me. This was about 1986; the guitar wasn't mine, I borrowed it from a mate after mine got nicked at a gig.

charlie brown Posted November 15, 2009 Author Share Posted November 15, 2009 Last local "B.O.B." which we (of course) didn't win, because the sound was run by a competing band (Who owned the PA, as well), and who (of course) won the competition. LOL! But, we had Fun, and that was the main thing, for me, anyway. We did get 2 gigs out of it, and that's always good! Lots of folks seemed to like what we did/do, as well. We were the only "Classic Rock" band, there. The Rest were all "Metal" or "Drop-D Hard Rock/scream in the mic" types. ;>) The Name of our (current) band is "TOAD!" ("They're Old As Dirt") (However, due to "family problems," we've lost our drummer....again, due to his moving back to Colorado!) ;>b (Photo by Rex Zimmerman) I'm the one, showing his best side (or, was it trying to figure out where "that note" is?), playing the SG, with my bud's Duane on the left (Bass), and Roger on the right (Guitar). Our (now departed for Colorado) drummer Clint, is (unfortunately) near invisable, behind his drums. We're Sorry, to see him leave, as he was a great drummer... but...."That's Rock & Roll!" And....how about that Classic "Stage Set Design?!" I tell you, they spared no expense, at this place! LOL!! CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3 Chord Hippie Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 Man you guys are so lucky, I would actually give up one of my guitars for a copy of a picture of me and the band I played with all during the early seventies.
