I know exactly what you mean. When I look in the mirror, it's not that 20-year-old staring back at me any more, even though he has the same guitar in his hand......LOL!

 

Tell me! I see myself with a guitar and wanna tell my father to put my guitar down 'fore he scuffs up the back!

Guess it's far better than the alternative.

You guys ARE on the green side of the grass.

 

Cool thing is, you both are actually hip enough to realize when you are standing on it.

 

That's just too damned cool.

 

Stein, I think you may be smoking some of that stuff I'm standing on. Hate to tell you, but that's the wrong type of grass. The kind of grass I have now is the kind of stuff you have to mow every week. :rolleyes:

Guess this gives us an idea of how many new members we have. Most of the old timers have stayed quiet. first pic is our co-host setting up the stage at SANSJAM2011

Second pic is a crop from a publicity shot, a portion of the bands name is visible under his legs. If we don't have an answer by Monday I'll rat him out :rolleyes:

Is it Justin Bieber. . .

Anyway, I saw a guy looking like this playing Baby What Do You Want Me To on the Tube.

After that I simply had to learn it.

 

That would just happen to be one of the first songs I ever performed in front of an audience, like a lot of people. In fact, when I got shut down during my 1967 Mississippi Folk Festival audition for doing Buffy Sainte-Marie's "Cod'ine", "Baby What Your Want Me to Do" was the next song I did. They didn't much like that one, either. And I swear it wasn't just my voice.

 

God bless you, Jimmy Reed!

 

And in case you haven't figured it out by now, the geezer in the photo would be our own Danville Rob, late (mid 1960's) of the Tarantels , plus being the bassist for Peter Wheat and the Breadmen, who opened for some of the great acts of the 60's when they played in the San Francisco Bay area.

 

Rock on, DR!

I got knocked over by Jimmy Reed when I first heard him....maybe 1964 or so...... a friend has his album, so while we were listening to other stuff to try to learn it, I listened to Jimmy for the pure pleasure of it.

 

Anyway, next year's SANSJAM is going to be killer! More equipment and more musicians..... hopefully we can find that Roadie again!

 

Fred and Dot are gracious hosts, and a good time will be had by all!

Wish I could make it to SANSJAM....BUT...the Left Coast is as far away from me (4.5 miles from the 'Big Pond') as 'da moon'. An'I ain't flyin' to the moon. As long as TSA is involved,anyway!....ERR!....unless ....Sandra Bullock is at the other end... [thumbup]

This post reminds me of a joke for 'ol Farts...(myself included)...

 

 

I pointed to two old drunks sitting across the bar from us and told my friend

 

"That's us in 10 years".

 

 

He said "That's a mirror, dip-sh+t!

 

[laugh]

When you think about it....we don't have a choice!

 

While I'd LOVE to have a 20+ year old body, (see the first pic in this thread), I'd NEVER give up my 60+ year old mind!

The only thing wrong with my 60+ year old mind is that I sometimes forget where I put it.

 

 

Yeah....but it doesn't mind! (play on words!)

 

Everyone knows the old adage about knowing what you know now when you were younger....the reason it's an adage that's been around so long is because it's true!

 

I'd hate to change my life in any way....but..... dang, I could have used the knowledge I have now back then!
