Oh Mark you were so much cooler than I was at 19 and now!

Well, I was certainly a very awkward teenager, I loved Rock and even though I was just a newb playing the bass at least got me invited to play music and go to some parties - I was still a loser tho!

I think Scott has a shot a High School buddy posted on FB some time back, I'd quite forgotten it.......'70s fashion nightmare!



Jeez, I'd rather post shots of me in drag than this.................


Let's talk about that Rick, it was an N.O.S. '73 4001 that I bought from Mike Lull at a shop in Bellevue, WA. just before he went out on his own. I played the guts out of that bass, wish I'd kept it.

That's the pic you were nervous to have posted? Totally cool pic from the 70's! I see absolutely not one issue with that at all!

I was trying so hard to grow a moustache............That didn't go so well Lol. It was a bad hair decade.


I do kinda look like Hyde from That '70s show!
 
In '71 I spent the summer in Germany.............

There were plenty of places that showed evidence of the war left in both the cities and countryside.................Crap, I'm old.

Idk Mark, you're playing that Ric like a boss. I'd hardly be embarrassed about that pic
