We (National Pike Pickers) are in good company on the cover of the supplement to today's Wheeling newspaper, pictured next to Joe Negri.

The front and back cover art from our first CD. The band is ClearSpring. The car actually belonged to the guitar player (with the sideburns) at the time. We took it out for pizza after the shoot

What kind of pizza do old cars like?

[Jon Hall]

The Old Town Gospel Project. We are very eclectic in our choice of songs.

Here's "The Baba Yagas" at our friends' new restaurant early in the evening -- me on bass, Tom on guitar, JC on accordion. Aside from myself, we switch around a bunch of instruments, too. I could be involved in that too, but bringing that bull fiddle around is work enough for me...

A friend sent this recent photo of National Pike Pickers to me. Bluegrass Barbeque at end of Sept.

[Ed Goist]

Well, we have a publicity photo, so I guess we are official... Legitimate? That's a wholly different matter.

Band pics are so much fun!

[Jörgen]

Hi there!
Band photos are fun.. hmm.. in our case, well, it's more of a project, or.. hmm well, we call ourselves "Beards'n'Hats".. you'll have to figure out why by yourselves... We're two guys that started to play a little together... we have fun while doing it, and for me that's pretty much what it's all about, ain't it?

A big HOWDY from France and here is a picture of our band BLUEGRASS 43. More details on http://www.bluegrass43.com and on Facebook.

[Mandolin Mick]

Well, this is when I was the bass player for Apple Core, a Beatles tribute band here in Milwaukee. This photo is us in 2006 at Summerfest, the world's largest music festival. I'm second from the left.

Had a fun gig playing last night on this Memorial Day weekend. It was a little cool temp wise but still good. (Cabin Fever String Band)

[journeybear]

I'm second from the left.

The one playing the Hofner bass. Right!

[lmartnla]

Here are the Grocery Clerks playing a Feedstore concert in ApriL. Anyone is welcome to join us.

[journeybear]

I guess it's time I posted some pics of my newest band.



We've been at it for over 100 days, and might last a little longer. People seem to like us all right.



The thing you're probably wonderiing about, is what we call a trumpazoo. It's a kazoo stuck into the bell end of a slide trombone. Yes, it should be called a trombazoo. It's out of my control, like so much else in this kooky outfit.

[mandolinlee]

Here's a picture of my band: Curly's Country Grass. Since I'm not in the picture, use the photoshop in your brain to duplicate the guy in the red shirt, but w/ a mandolin, not the banjo. It's my twin brother.

[billhay4]

I can imagine why they call you Curly.
Bill

[mandolinlee]

Hi Bill -
If things keep going as they have, may have to change the name to: Baldy's

That's a good joke when I needed it! Your band looks good!

A few photos of my band have been surfacing, and I thought it might be time to post some before they went viral and spiralled out of control. I'm most impressed with the first one, which somehow became pretty psychedelic. It's possible some of the members had indulged in various uncontrolled substances - not me, though, just a beer or two - but that doesn't explain the prismatic effect, fortunately captured on film. Or pixels, as the case may be.



I like the way the photographer photoshopped the band name into the bell of the trombazoo - not its real size, but distorted by the lens. (That's a kazoo stuck into the slide/bell half of an old trombone. It produces quite a charming racket.) And for your perusement (that's my term combining "perusal" and "amusement"), here's our promo blurb:

The Love Lane Gang plays music that spans generations, as well as embodies them. The emphasis is on swing: classics from the 1920s, 1930s, and 1940s, done in a refreshing new style that incorporates the Hot Club approach with island flourishes. Dust Bowl ballads, old school country from Hank Williams and Johnny Cash, rockabilly and surf music classics and little-known gems, and tunes from Sixties stars like The Beatles and The Kinks, all fit in alongside original songs that sound like they could have come from any of those eras. Offbeat instrumentation like mandolin, accordion, banjo, ukulele, and washboard add to familiar guitar, bass, and harmonica, creating a broad musical palette which they use to color their performances. But you needn't pay too much mind to all that serious musical analysis - it's just plain fun!
