July 1966
Keith Gale standing, unknown cousin trying Keith's snare drum,
Johnny Gale playing guitar. We're at a family gathering somewhere in Upstate New York.
You can see I'd already been playing for a few years as that's a Ludwig
snare drum - I'd already leveled an all-plastic Maestro and a Dept. Store
bought Japanese drum. Johnny Gale is playing a Harmony archtop with a DeArmond floating pickup.
Note my loose shirt tails and rolled up sleeves - I was already quite the ankle biter.
