Images from years of playing.
I am not sure if I have aged gracefully or not. There's a lot more gray, a little more heft.
I get amazed at the different guitars I have owned and no longer own. It's been an interesting 40 years of making music. Hopefully I will keep doing it for some time.
To my immediate left is me posing on my front walk with my John 5 telecaster in the Spring, 2015. This was part of a photo shoot for advertising my benefit concert for the child feeding program SUNNY. I no longer own this guitar, however.

This is from 2014, and another fundraiser for the SUNNY program. That's me in the middle with the white Stratocaster. From left to right is Keira (vocals), Dan (bass), Me (guitar/vocals), James (drums) MJA (guitar, vocals), and my wife Erin (keyboards, vocals.)
This is our band at Brooklyn UMC in Brooklyn Park, MN. This was mostly a concert of my original music.
What I love about doing this fundraiser is that the cause is so good (over 8000 children are fed lunches over the summer per year) and the fact we can turn it up.

The Mods. What can one say about the Mods? A totally fun party band that jammed nearly every day for about a year and a half in 1983-1984, played parties, drank a lot, and had a blast.
Our playlist was a mixture of Elvis Presley, George Thorogood, The Doors, The Seeds, Talking Heads, Joe Jackson, The Rolling Stones, Cheap Trick, Spirit, The Kingsmen, The Monkees, and many others.
It was easy, it was fun, and there are lots of fun and hazy memories.
Hail, hail Rock 'n' Roll!

Lastly, here you have my Billy Squier pose, jazzing it up on the front porch, and opening for Big George Jackson a few years back.
