You, Aged 20

[john]

Hey gang

 

I thought it would be a bit of fun to post up old pics… namely, photos of you, aged 20! Are you game?

 

So here I am in 1987, rehearsing with my band, The Outside Edge…

 

 

That’s me on the guitar.

 

Cheers

Haha!

 

Me, newly arrived from England in Australia in 1970, in a shared house, and having blown 90% of my dosh on my first-ever 12-string.  Ooooaaahhhhhh, the sound was exquisite!!   The EKO (Italian and heavy as all f*ck) lasted 30+ years and travelled around the world with me. I sold it for $400 after buying my Takamine 12-string for my first album recording in 2002.

 

1970 ... hair today, gone tomorrow.

Obviously I'm in the back room, contemplating ....

Peggy, is that a coincidental background item or actually a nonchalant fag?

I'd participate, but I don't have any pictures of me at 20

Imagine a bald polish guy with glasses from NJ. Started losing it at 18. True story. Back then it was kodak country. Pentax 35mm at least if you wanted to do 'real photography' and my subjects were generally not people. Then there was the dark room chemicals in the basement if you wanted to go there instead of leaving your roll at the mercy of the local photo shack.

 

This is one from my 20's that I put on my Instagram

On a bright note you are creative

"Me? Aged twenty?"  Uhh, no.

 

At that time, I did not yet know everything.  Turns out that achieving this took a little more time ...

[Tonedead]

@MikeRobinson I can relate. In my 20's I still wanted to be a painter,even though I did buy a fretless bass with an accident settlement. Just in case I had a knack for being New Jersey's answer to Mick Karn.

Fun topic!

This would be age 24 (the closest I have to a photo at age 20). I'm the guy on trumpet.  I remember the gig and the venue, even though neither was particularly good. New Years Eve, 1992, Fiddlers, Bristol.

Photography hadn't been invented when I was 20.
