I don't know if you're willing to hear my ancient story or not?
But yes or no, here I go
That picture was taken while I was a bass player in my last rock band in Thailand before I left for USA. I don't remember having any pictures of me while I played guitar in the band in Thailand. There was one time when I was studying at TU there was a TU student bands competition and I was in that competition too as a lead guitar player. The reason was the real lead guitar of that band was falling off with the rest of the band so they asked me to stand in for him. I got no choice because everyone of them was my friends!! I was quite sure that my temporary band was captured in pictures by some other friends but I've never had a chance to see ones (with electric guitar).
I actually started playing guitar before bass, but as the destiny had it. The first group that I joined in didn't have any guitar or bass left for anybody! So I got in as the singer
Later on the bass player called it quit and the band asked me to fill in and I began to really like bass than guitar
And from that day on, I was known as the bass player than the guitar player and I accepted it with pride. Even when I arrived in USA my musician friends again asked me if I wanted to play bass for them and I couldn't refuse to earn some extra money in any way I could! But when I was alone at my apartment I was always having my Gibson Dove by my side to console me. Then I started family life in 1980, quit every kind of guitar playing and even MUSIC itself and playing the real game of life until around 2005 or so.
I started to come back to MUSIC again after so many years of stabilizing my family life. Now I retired (at the age of 62 in 2009) and fully jumping in joy into what I love again.
And that's the end (of the beginning....
)
