Here I'm playing my first serious guitar. This Les Paul originally belonged to the guy who recorded the minor hit, "Billy Don't Be a Hero" - Bo Donaldson. Here you can see how I've stripped off the original black laquer and refinished it, adding some designs in rare veneers. I also hand-crafted the walnut knobs and koa pickguard. I really loved this guitar; unfortunately, it was destroyed in a housefire in 1985.
This is Paul Abrams, my drummer. He's got a really great voice and a wonderful sense of harmony. He's been a close and trustworthy friend for over thirty years.
Here's Paul again, a coupla years later in '78. This was taken in the studio during the recording of an early album, "Challenging the Sun", by Amra.
