Jamming, 1985

This is an old army buddy of mine, Lance Berges, and myself jamming behind our barracks in 1985. We would play on the weekends and people in our company would stop by and listen to us, so it was kind of like we were putting on live shows.

 

We kept up contact with each other several years after getting out of the Army, but over time, he must have moved and I don't know where he lives now. The last address I had for him was Lakeland, Florida, so if you see this Lance, please contact me.

 

Taken with a Polaroid instant camera I picked up while in the Army. I've forgotten whatever happened to it or what model it was.

 

The guitars we were playing were both Tackamine acoustic guitars. We got to talking about music and guitars and wound up calling a local music store and told them to bring a selection of acoustic guitars to us on the base. They did, and we each picked out a good one and paid cash for them. I remember we also requested they bring a couple capos so we could get those, too. I have some recordings I made of the two of us jamming.
