Cool rock n roll photos

Cool, I was probably listening to Kajagoogoo at the time.
I met their bass player once, when he was stopping at the house of a guy I knew, and we were sitting around the kitchen table, and he was noodling around on the bass, and I couldn't beleive how good he was.
I can't say I liked him much as a person, but it was a real shock to see how good a musician he was.

There's a book I'd like to handle (at $73.14 it's a little too pricey to buy) called "The Strat In The Attic: Thrilling Stories of Guitar Archaelogy." Per the blurb:

Guitar sleuth and music-history detective Deke Dickerson tells the true tales of 50 thrilling rare guitar finds that will make guitarists green with envy. A golden Fender Stratocaster hidden away in an attic for 30 years. A sunburst Gibson Les Paul worth $100,000. Jimi Hendrix’s Strat burned by the guitarist during a concert—and then mysteriously lost for decades. The mint Fender Broadcaster forgotten under a bed in a neighbor’s house. The 1960s Rickenbacker bought for $50 at a garage sale!
You need to shop on EBay; I had no idea it had gone out of print, but those Amazon asking prices are not, as a friend would say, ‘reality based’. One completed auction, ended a couple of weeks ago, netted someone both volumes for around $27! The current ones are high, but still under Amazon. Hit the used book stores. Do you have a Half Priced Books near you? Both are a great read; Deke’s a great guy, a real character.
