Y'mean like this?

 

I think this is about 35 years ago and I was already around 30 and doing a lot of "old time" and Bluegrass stuff.

 

My hair usually is a bit shorter now but currently is "winter shaggy." This pix is the "sheepherder style" haircut I had back then.

 

Still have the guitar, btw. It's one of the first "electric legend" acoustic electric Ovations. Nice neck.

[laugh] LOL!

I call my run of pictures as the days of much hair and tiny pants to less hair and bigger britches! [lol]

 

Yeah me too. Size 28 waist in the first picture size 36 now. You kinda had the Michael Wilton look in your avatar.

Summer of '78:

I don't have a 'now' pic of me (you're welcome!) but suffice to say the Telecaster aged MUCH more gracefully than I did...

Wow is that the same Tele? It did get a nice mellow yellow didn't it.

I wish I did. 100% polyester. I think I wore that all through high school and a while afterwards. $4.99 at Zayres and probably came with a sweater vest.

 

I still have the Tele and the class ring. I was probably wearing a big pot metal Chevrolet belt buckle and I still have that.

 

The clothes, my hair, and the crabapple tree are gone though.

Awesome Duane! So you are/were a Charvel dude too!? Is that an 87 or so Model 2 I spy? What's it say on the headstock? And I have to ask what was the name of the band?

I'm still a Charvel and Moser dood... That Charvel is a 83 I had re-sprayed, and I have a 82 Charvel I got for a graduation present.... That band was DeAllen.... I started it in junior high in 1976, and called it a day in 1987.
