Sunday in the Park, 1973

I have mentioned how much touch up work is needed for the Sunday in the Park, 1973  show pics so here are 3 samples of before and after.
These scratches were made by a malfunction of the film advance function of the camera.  I did not know that this problem was there until it was too late.This is why there is going to be a delay in getting this series of pics finished and ready for publishing on line.

Al with Montreal version of Counts Four

Here is a jacket cover from the Montreal version of the Counts Four. Al Ridler the bass player is on top right of image.  This record came out just before the 1st Beatles record was released in North America.
Here is a short bio of Al before he created the St. Marc Street Band.
The album was on London Records,album no. eb87,made in the RCA studio in
Montreal. 
When the band let me go THEY IMMEDEATLY BECAME  THE BELLS !  BEFORE THE
COUNTS 4 I was the bass player with Al Nichols and the Monterays, after
I was with the Count 4s I was with the Green Men for 9 months!  Ya I had
green hair in 1965!  In 66 I was in a folk rock group called  the Six
Foot Sound of Marty Shannon , then a trio called Jim and Stan +One, I
was the one! This trio became The Faculty ,a lounge group, after that I
went underground and formed the St. Marc Street Band.
