Throwback Thursday

[Gary Blanchard]

About 10 years ago, Carol and I were doing what I called Old-Time/Good-Time music. A blend of folk, old-time, jug band, and Tin Pan Alley stuff. Here is a publicity photo from back in the day. That cookie-tin banjo actually is playable, and I used it for gigs, along with a resonator guitar.

Sadly, I have very few photos older than this, thanks to my first wife who threw them all out. messedup0

Isn't that what everyone outside 128 looks like?

 

[Gary Blanchard]

As PeeWee says, we meant to do that. It was an homage without doing an exact copy.

We were still in Maryland at the time, but it reflects both Western Maryland and the Eastern Shore. It didn't quite fit Annapolis or Baltimore, though. :rolleyes:

You could see it right off of the bat!

There was 22 years between #1 and #3. Wife #1 threw out all my photos, my album collection, and a lot of my favorite clothes because she was nuts. I remember her telling her aunt, "Gary was a hippie until I saved him." rolleyes1

You two have too many teeth to complete the portrayal...

"Hippie" runs deeper than skin deep.... you can't wash it off no matter how many times you hose 'em off.

What a long strange trip it's been.

Thus why she is an ex-wife.

Boy, there was a lot less gray then...

Good pics, Gary

I could never do throwback Thursdays, just because I have very little, really no, old pictures of me. My family wasn't a picture-taking family, and I never had a camera in my late teens-early 20's

I like the pic of you and Carol, Gary. Like the more rent one of you, too. Gray makes you look "distinguished."

You have offended my tooth, good sir. I challenge you to a duel. Spitballs at ten paces!
