Roots. Or, Proof that I Once Had Hair
I stumbled across these photos today and thought they might amuse you.
1980 and in the throes of teaching myself how to play. I'm holding handmade Les Paul copy that I later traded for my first real classical guitar. This was probably December, but I'm wearing a down jacket, indoors, in San Diego. Maybe I was just sick. Dig the Kenny Loggins hair.

1982. I took this old Harmony guitar on trade for a $100 motorcycle I was trying to sell. I stashed it at my Dad's house for many years because I thought it was so ugly but on a 2008 trip to visit him I pulled it out and played it and saved it to use as my camping/travel guitar. It has a solid spruce top and mahogany sides. I've played outdoor concerts with this guitar and I don't think I'll ever part with it.

1980. Tour jacket, tour van. No I was not high.
