Yet another pic I'd never seen. I'll try not to snicker next time someone suggests I listen to some old J. Geils Band.

J. sure is listening up. I wonder what Duane was saying.

I wonder if the fellow wielding the Paul in the background is Dickey?

Too big to be Dickie, and not enough cheekbone, I don't think.

Whoever, he's obviously interested in the pearls Duane is dispensing to J.

I never got into the J Geils Band, but I saw 'em one time at Jubilee weekend at Chapel Hill some time between 1969 and 72 (I honestly can't remember, but that's another story). I remember they had a big, big sound ( maybe even some horns for some songs?)but that's about it. I want to say I saw our boys were there too, but what can I say? -- my face was painted blue and ....


Note the cross on Duane's strap. For Barry?

Carl,

That's his necklace caught on his strap. I can see the chain through the O-buckle on the strap. Berry died after him, Carl.
That's the same shirt he was wearing in those pictures of him and Berry where he was holding the can of Cocola.
Some people know the time frames from what guitar he had. I know them from his shirts.
