St. Marc Street Band at the El Toreau club in 1973

Again these photos were taken when the film advance was not working properly and it made deep scratches in the negatives. In these photos are Al Ridler on bass, Larry Schaffer on lead guitar, Robbie Rankin on drums and Al Mercier on percussion.

Soon more band pics

I am finally having the time to start working on some more band pics for the blog and the FB page.

Free Wheelin' Franklin

Does he look familiar to you.. I gave a copy of this poster to Al when he was living on St.Marc with Barbie.
He put it up in the hallway. He liked it but Barbie, not too much.

Sunday in the Park- August 1973

I tried to remove the scratches from most of these photos but they were so deep into the negatives that no matter which photo editor I tried to use the photos were being ruined more by the touch ups so I had to leave them as is. Sorry guys.

The Riddler is still rockin'

Al Ridler from the SMSB playing live music again.  So good to hear  you playing Al.
He is playing with Scott Parsons Band in a live show in Duncan, BC.
Thanks to   http://www.karalynnsphotography.com/ for videographing the show.

Earl Gordon with Professor Longhair at 1976 New Orleans Jazz Festival

Here is a photo of Earl Gordon playing drums for Professor Longhair at the 1976 New Orleans Jazz Festival.

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.
