Post A Picture Of Yourself

I can't remember if I've contributed to this thread before, but if I have it's been a while so...

Here's one of me backing SF based singer-songwriter, Doug Boyd, at the Velo Rouge Cafe last Sunday. Umm, yeah. That's me on the mandolin.

Okay, here's a new on of me with my band Stay Tuned playing at last weekend's Adventure Bluegrass festival in Stevenson, WA.

...40 lbs. lighter, new specs and a new cowboy shirt - #playing my Collings MF-5R and that's Terry O'Brien on the Martin D18 Golden Era.

**Andrew Lewis** · Aug-01-2007, 11:38am

Those shirts look sharp!

**mandopete** · Aug-01-2007, 12:19pm

Yeah, it's always a funny thing when it comes to band attire. We've been though several revisions - shirt & tie, sportcoats, Hawaiian shirt and now the cowboy shirts. I really like this look and hopefully we'll stick with it.

P.S. - I'm now on my third hat!

I still occasionally wear my Sox cap purchased in 1985. Wore it to baseball practices in high school and college. It's split up the back now, and so sun-faded that the stiching looks gray and the B looks more like a UCLA Bruins cap.

It's funky, but still great!

I bought #2 after the '86 World Series and I used to wear it while I mowed the lawn - man that thing got funky!

Bought #3 when I took my youngest son on his first visit to Fenway in 2005. #I've been wearing it at bluegrass festivals ever since. Looks like one of the kids dropped a Sharpie on it and now it has racing stripes.

I would venture to say that I see more Red Sox ballcaps than any other team logo. #Maybe we should start a new thread..."Post A Picture of Yourself Wearing a Red Sox Hat & Playing Mandolin"

GO RED SOX NATION!

I'm heading off to Boston tomorrow for an academic conference, but I'm definitely going to visit Fenway (the team will be in Seattle this weekend, so hopefully I can take a tour).

As for hats, I have two that I switch between - the reg. navy with the B and the green one above for hunting and fishing trips - I have yet to meet a deer who's a Yank fan

Oh, and mando content: I'm taking the Eastman so I can be sure to get in my nightly practice session...

**mandopete** · Aug-01-2007, 6:02pm

You can take the tour anytime, just get to the ball park early on days when the Sox are in town. Gotta check out the Green Monster!

Just got myself "Simpsonized" thought I would share it.

Thanks a lot -- that's just what I need, another way to waste time playing around on the internet.

**DryBones** · Aug-01-2007, 7:41pm

looking good, Jim #

**labraid** · Aug-01-2007, 10:15pm

Hey, has anyone seen my end mill breaker sharpener?

**otterly2k** · Aug-02-2007, 9:37am

Yeah, I did it too, but it came out looking NOTHING at all like me, and no amount of tweaking it really helped.

**cooper4205** · Aug-02-2007, 11:23am

I was surprised, mine actually looks like me (sorta)

First post in this thread for me... I think. Any guesses where I am (no, a Rhino's mouth isn't the correct answer)? Ted, Dan, Jason, no telling.

Anybody ever been to Serpent Mound? Not sure if you can read the text of the sign I'm standing next to, but this was an earthwork made about 1,000 years ago by American Indians in the Middle-of-Nowhere, Ohio. Interesting side trip on our journey to Chicago this summer.

**Scotti Adams** · Aug-03-2007, 8:16am

Hey Fatt-Dad...thats right down the road from me.

**fatt-dad** · Aug-03-2007, 8:33am

Edit: The middle of nowhere and next to Scotti Adams. Had I only known I'da stopped by. . . . Interesting country, I must say. Fun roads to drive on - if you like that feeling of your stomach on the roof of the car - ha.

I've never posted on this thread, but now that fatt-dad has, I guess I better.

I've been there -- I used to live relatively nearby in Middle-of-Nowhere, IN.

Here's a picture of myself and my friend Yvonne, (violmando) with our matching Larson-made Stahl mandocellos.
