Maybe we all needed one of these to be cool

An Explorer Kenny?  Really?  LOL. 
 
Your current selections look much better.

See? Uber cool. Kenny Van Helsing and his trusty dog Lucy. At Christmas.
 
She was a cool dog too eh? I remember a couple of vids where she upstaged you...

I will join James in the " my teen photos are in a secure location" / destroyed camp.
But here I am (on the far right) on my first day at school,

All the best.

That Guitar is a Giuliano Balestra Vulcan . It was built by my friend Giuliano Balestra with the hopes that Peter Frampton would endorse it
Peter wanted it for free & I was standing right there when he asked for it for free.
My friend Giuliano could not absorb the cost to comp the guitar to Peter , so I bought it ....
That photo is at Iona College in New Rochell . there is a small crowd of 2000 people not seen in the pic.
 
 
BTW , you may or may not know this ...Buck Dharma used to play a 2 pick up Balestra Vulcan ....

Yeah , I dig my Les  a lot better
all the best,

Well, I sit corrected!  LOL.  I barely recall much of that one time I met him (he showed me how to play Don't Fear the Reaper), but he was using a Les Paul at that time.  Later I know he went with some Steinbergers.

Hey Craig ,
I sure hope you don't think I'm trying to be snarky w you ...it is not my intention to go there ...
 
Online things can sure come off heavier than what it's supposed to be if I was talking w you in the same room

The Have Mercy Blues Band - Night 2 Live at the Empty Room. It's part of our 1990 World Tour, now in its 26th Big Year! Unfortunately, we've been on hiatus for more than 25 1/2 years and some of us got a gig in Eternity, so I think some of the fan support has dwindled a bit. 
 
It was freakishly cold that weekend, so I opted for jeans instead of my usual fluorescent rainbow colored pants. Yeah, I'm more like Anti-Cool. 

Hey James,
 
Your cooler than you think I spent most of my early years playing guitar wishing I came from your country

"Kenny Van Helsing and his trusty dog Lucy." Good one ...
I still have those early videos where Lucy would start chewing squeaky toys in the middle of a recording ...
She was a good girl and I hope I see her again when I'm done here .
 
have a good one ,
 
Kenny
