What inspired you to take up playing acoustic guitar?

Old photos. Ahh...back in the day there were no cellphone or digital cameras. Its been hard to keep what pictures there were, but worse,,we were too busy living to document it in photos.
If these photos had been colour they would be faded away now,


As a teen, early 60's with Gibson SG Custom and middle 60's with Espana Classical guitars.
The Espana classical and an Espana 12 replaced the Gibson SG. Don't forget to DOUBLE-CLICK to view complete picture.


As a teen, middle 60's with Sitar, the Bongo and Classical are mine also


College, late 70s? My Band days. I cannot remember what guitar i used in college, but I assume ii was the ES-355 clone. Later in early 80s, i got an abused 61 Telecaster.



This last photo was take by my friend Mike who died last year. He had a darkroom.

The first two are the only photos I have found in my photo box, or my mom's that show guitars.

I know pictures were taken during the Lunch time concert on High School Prom day, at various  band practice, at a jam on bandstand near my cousins summer house, during Stardust performances, etc etc but not by me, and we did not have the technology to share the pictures.
