Circa 1969:
Alan's 1st West Coast gig ...
Doug Weston's Troubador ...
Los Angeles, California

Note: The guitar in this photo is the hand-made classical Garcia guitar that I won when I was 17 years old (Second Prize at the 4-H County Fair) ... I traded it 5 years later for a Gibson SG ... by then I was playing my steel-string, Gibson Hummingbird, and the Garcia was sitting in it's case too much - I can't stand seeing any instrument NOT being played!

Photo by Ron Fleury
Mark Paladino had Ron shoot my first show at the Troubador ... he took this one from up in the balcony ... all I have are proof-sheets of the negatives - these are those; scanned.
