June 30, 2004the tuxedoI read this post and had a real memory flashback. Somewhere in the pile of crap in my 'pooter room is a picture of me, taken back in 1976. I have long hair, a Fu-Manchu moustache and a snarky look in my eyes. I'm holding my 1964 Martin D-28 guitar and grinning for the camera. That was my PR pic when I played semi-professional guitar for several years of my life. That picture appeared in advertisments (right next to the ones for massage parlors and escort services) in papers all over the Southeast US during my musical career. I was proud of it. You know what I'm wearing in that picture? A baby-blue tuxedo shirt with a black cotton vest. The shirt has ruffles all down the front and French cuffs. (I NEVER wore cufflinks when playing the guitar, but I wore them for that picture.) I look downright sophisticated. The name is Bond. James Bond. I miss that shirt. If I had any Scotch around the house, I would drink some tonight. Comments
I have a 1975 pic taken of me & my brother @ his wedding. I have my former hair, to be sure, but there is also that brown leisure suit thing goin' on. That could cause me to reach for Jack Daniel's....several times over.

And I've always got scotch around the house... Course tonight it's Grant's... $10 / liter at TJ's... but still... wait, maybe i still have some JW red around...
