I wonder why we haven't heard from Colm yet?

Must be the Colm before the storm...

Here is an ACTUAL, UNRETOUCHED photograph of the boy-musician, at about age 10. Taken by his 'Shutterbug' Grandfather who apparently believed that having the pair of shorts in his right hand added just the proper thing to offset his subject's apparent demeanor of taking himself waaay too seriously (to the point of ensuring that his left hand made his 'favorite chord' -- E Major, rather than appearing to be randomly placed on the guitar, such as an ignorant or, shall we say, 'uninitiated' person's photograph might look.) You never know when you might need a spare set of shorts. Especially as a musician...

Of course! I wanted her to look like John McLaughlin.

Mike, I no longer have elastic in the front of my jeans but I wish I still had the red boots!:D

Me and my first steel in 1975.

Cute kid.

Still got the guitar in pieces and the waffle-bar grandma left me that she'd found a couple years ago before she passed on.

Wish they still made PJs like that.

These new rubberized feet never fit me right.

Lo and behold, it's our fearless leader b0b many moons ago!

OK, for all you adoring fans, here's another. My friend, Paul (on the left), and I were apparently investigating 'advanced harmony'. For example the 'C over D' chord. Um... D9sus4?
