The Strokers, the Quincy Street Rock Orchestra, funny hats and pants, Jeremy Stidwell and a lot of thinking about girls.

The electro-acoustic Harmony in this picture was my very first --- not girl, guitar. I'm pretty sure it was a Harmony, but then again, it may have been a Silvertone.

Had a tiny little amp with a 12" speaker. The guitar and amp cost my life savings plus a bunch of weekly payments in February of 1964. You know, right after those British guys were on the Ed Sullivan show. In case you didn't notice, I don't think that's a real guitar chord... close to a G but not exactly. I think it had something to do with being fourteen and extending my middle finger whenever I got a chance.
