In 1972 my friends Rick & Ed came to my house & gave me this 1968 Sears Silvertone Bass (fretless). The Catch was I had to play Bass for them a couple of nights later at thier first gig.

I practiced the simple progressions that Rick Taught me to play

I was a Bass Player with 'tude, eh?

I can't remember all of the names we played under, but a few were;
People
Nightstalkers
Black Velvet
Iceburg Medows

Those were the daze...I think [img]wink.gif[/img]

Great photos Roger. I'm sure it brings back alot of memories for you!!!

I used to have hair like that, but was never in a band....although I played piano for a couple years decades ago.

Yeah I have some great memories from playing, I have just picked up the guitar again recently (after gathering dust in the closet for several years) and trying to pick a bit. I'm not a very good guitar player, but I can play enough to amuse myself.

I did not get a haircut from 1969 to 1978, except for short trims. I always said that if it started getting thin, I would just cut it off...then a few years later, It Did!
