Willie G. Moseley Posted March 25, 2024 Posted March 25, 2024 Hadn't seen this one either for a while (about 47 years). One of the nursing assistants that's caring for the Missus is the daughter of the bass player, and she sent this. This was caused some retrospection and introspection for various reasons. For one thing it was taken around the time my first marriage was imploding. The band was named Sunstorm, and this picutre dates from Spring 1977. Perusing this closely is interesting concerning the gear: Donnie, the lead guitarist, played a Les Paul Deluxe, I played a Gibson L6-S and John the bassist had a Rick 4001 (he was good; he could play "Sailor's Hornpipe" on it). My amp was a undistinguished Kustom 4 X 10. It appears I've got a can of Finger-Ease on the top of the amp, and methinks those are some off-brand/cheap copies of Kalso Earth Shoes (negative heel) with which I have my right foot entangled in the guitar cord. Donnie was also the guitarist in Executive Rock (earlier trio photos posted here); after Sunstorm split he'd played on my demo album and had been pestering me to start performing live again after eight years; Executive Rock cranked up in early '86 and lasted about four years. He died in 2004.

Dana_V Posted March 25, 2024 Posted March 25, 2024 Great picture! I spy some sort of Electro-Harmonix box on the floor - Big Muff Pi, possibly? There looks to be another pedal too, but it's hard to see what it is. Also, any idea what song you might have been playing when this shot was taken?
tommy p Posted March 25, 2024 Posted March 25, 2024 The guy with his foot up stole Bun E. Carlos's shoes!
Willie G. Moseley Posted March 25, 2024 Author Posted March 25, 2024 Private school prom in Prattville, Alabama. That's a Big Muff Pi alright, and the other is combined footswitch for reverb and tremolo on the Kustom amp. I think we might have been playing our version of Bob Seger's "Night Moves", on which we rocked out pretty hard so folks could dance---slightly faster tempo, power chords, no acoustic instruments. Worked out pretty well.
