Hey, lots of us forumites used to gig or still do -- for J&B it's "used to." Let's share some. Here's a couple of us in 1998...Janice on guitar and 'stache Bud on lefty bass. Some day I'll scan the old Tri-X negatives and have some shots of my early 70's band.
I like to see other people's gig photos... but I don't have any for the same reason that I don't dance. I was always on stage, not in the audience taking pictures. No doubt there are plenty of such photos floating around in the collections of friends, but I wouldn't know who to ask.
Cool topic though.. .can't wait to see how many people respond with photos!
This is an interesting thread! I don't have pictures I can think of of me performing for the same reason Pat mentioned above. I'd love to see some nice pictures of fellow forum users performing though
Probably not much different in age from most folks on here, but I started playing for money at age 11. This photo is about four years later, from 1966. I'm playing in a rock band with my older brother (pictured). Even with a mic and monitors, we two trumpet players could not hear ourselves over the din coming from the rest of the band. Why my hearing is still OK, I'll never understand.

I’m about 5 years older than you and I worked with rock bands through the early sixties and my ears didn’t survive. I have tinnitus and am shot above 2K or so. But a great PhD audiologist turned my life around with some high end hearing aids including a program for mixing
Matt, you looked like you have aged...which is a good thing. Wouldn't want to look THAT young forever. lol. Looking good in both pics I've seen of you. Had it going on early my friend.
These are about 13 years old.

TEMPO TANTRUM: What a lead singer has when they can't stay in time.
Best I have is this. The old pic was taken in Aug 1987 in Bradford Ontario. The new one was from Nov 2015 here in Ohio at a reunion show for a band that I am no longer involved with.

And I was quite happy to see it go into the hands of someone who plays it. I am in the group that doesn't think instruments are museum pieces and are supposed to be played rather than viewed.

Wow! Talented guy! I really had no idea that you played other than guitar, so this surprises me. Very cool, of course.
Well, keep in mind I never said I play them WELL.....
It's mainly a thing of longevity. In mid-April it will be 63 years since I started music lessons. I started at 4 yrs 10 months of age. If you do something long enough you can get good at it. Music, cooking, welding, woodworking, plumbing, whatever..... if you do it and pay the dues that come with learning, you will get to a point where you are proficient.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.
Update your Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows® Today!
Update your Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows for free with build 1111!
With this update, there's more control when saving images from the Print Preview window, we've added defaults to the MultiPicker for sorting and font size, updated printing options, updated RealTracks and other content, and addressed user-reported issues with the StylePicker, MIDI Soloists, key signature changes, and more!
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
