Can anyone identify the guitar that John Herald is playing in this photo (from the cover of Dian & The Greenbriar Boys)

We all live in different places now too so I don't know if the odds are real good for getting us together. Maybe a one time deal in our hometown.

It is a sad story. I rember parting ways when he started hanging at a bar that served underage patrone and downers floated around freely. Just not my scene as I preferred an "enlightened" path if you get my drift. That's great that you might try to activate the old band. I would love to do that but it isn't possible as the drummer lives (lived? Don't know) in the Chicago area and I've no idea where the KB player is.

Wow that's quite a sad story about the lead guitar player but it's good that you have kept in touch with him. Several years ago I got back together with the people from that band and we spent some time reminiscing and playing together but I haven't seen them since then (we all live in different places) but maybe you've inspired me to try to do something about that. Too bad you lost the recordings-they would be great fun to listen to now!!!

Jeff,

Thanks for looking at my photos. Yes I still to this day jam once a week with the lead guitar player. We tried forming another band but it fell apart. He was a victim of the times and wound up becoming a heroin addict and though he has been clean for years he's burnt out. When we play he has a very tough time keeping up and loses his place easily while playing.

The other two I've lost complete touch with. I was corresponding with the drummer for a while about 15 years ago but he changed his email and didn't notify me.

I was fortunate to have had those photos. The Polaroids were taken by my wife (we were high school sweethearts) and the others I can't remember who took but I somehow wound up with them, Someone asked if I had any recordings and I did at one point in time but lost them in one of the many moves I've made since then.

Too bad you don't have photos of your band. Are you in touch with any of your old band mates?

Terry,

 

Those are great old (but not too old) pictures!!! Do you still have contact with any of those guys??? I played in a band around that time too but don't think I actually have any pictures. Now I wish I did. Thanks for sharing!!!

If anyone is interested, I've posted photos of my high school bands on my page as well as stuff I dug up off the web about the gear we had. All are from 1965 through 1967 or so. Ya might get a kick out of it!

Jim's playing a Harmony tenor with a bakolite (sp?) pot. He got a five-string soon after this picture was taken. Gary and I got guitar upgrades as well." href="http://direct.hangoutstorage.com/banjohangout.org/storage/photos/large/17/17973-34579342007.jpg" rel="lightbox[photo]"'>

Here is a photo that I took at the 1964 Mariposa Folk Festival held in Maple Leaf Stadium of Rev Gary Davis, Gordon Lightfoot, Mississippi John Hurt and Tom Kines at one of the workshops.  If I recall correctly, Joni Anderson (later Mitchell) was there as well.  I know Al Cromwell was there too, but I think just as a spectator. 

The other picture is of me and the friends I went with.  We slept at the base of the CNE's Princess Gates on the Friday night, but the police were not happy with us so Terry Whelan, Gordon Lightfoot's partner in the Tu-Tones, made an announcement that anyone who'd like to sleep in his back yard was welcome to.  There were about thirty of us in his back yard that night.
