Mom, me and brother John. Must be from Bluefield, WV just before we headed to SoCal. 1955. My expression there is interesting to me. It might say something about an attitude that was mostly covered up. Once, after I'd answered the front door in our new home in SoCal (delivery or something) when I shut the door my dad looked at me with a curious expression (with a note of approval, I think) and said something like, "You've got a lot of anger in you, don't you?"...

1956 snowfall, rare event in Upland (35miles east of LA). I'm 13 here and wearing the sombrero. Brothers John, Jeff and neighborhood friend. Nash Rambler.

1965 with my Martin guitar. I was undergrad at Pomona College. I'm trying to get that John Fahey thing. Never really got there.
