Help please with players details and info

[Colin McCubbin]

Following on from the thread that has been running here on the forum about INTERESTING RARE OLD PHOTOS, michaelmesser.proboards7.com/index.cgi?board=tin&action=display&n=1&thread=10 I have for some time been displaying images taken at random from the thread in this forum on my homepage at www.notecannons.com

I'm finally taking the step to place the images in a database so that I can also add detail to the displayed picture, such as the name of the artist, instrument, year etc.


At present I have 74 old resonator player pics but only have details to accompany 45 of them.

Please go to www.notecannons.com/random_pic.php where I am starting to show all the pics in the database I have details for and, if I have any details you believe to be wrong, (or any other error ) please let me know the number of the picture and the corrected details.

I will be also adding the pics that I have no details for over the next few days, so if you see a pic with no title and know anything about it, please let us know.

Going through the thread today there are quite a few broken links where the image is no longer hosted. If you ever posted a picture to the thread, please check your post(s) and if your pic has vanished, kindly edit your post and reload the picture.

I can add a credit to the pics as well, giving credit to whoever supplied them. So if you want public credit please let me know which pic and your name.

Thanks!!!!

Hi Colin,

That's a good job you're doing, but it takes a lot of patience.

One comment so far - Picture number 14....it is interesting to know about the Harmony, but what about the National guitar?

Shine On,
Michael.

[Colin McCubbin]

Pic 14. The National is a style 0, 14 fret, chicken foot coverplate... I'll add that info..

[Michael Messer]

The thread about musicians with their resophonic guitars is a great one. If anyone has any that we haven't seen yet - please post them on the forum.

Thanks,
Shine On,
Michael

Added all the pics I had now, with extra text for some.

Hello Colin
Just checking out details about your pictures.
A couple of bits of information for you.
Picture 2 shows Aleth Hansen but NOT with the Lightning Bolts single cone. These have dark fingerboards and headstocks. This is a pearl fingerboard and so is more likely to be the custom engraved Style 3 variant with LEM engraved on the top that Bob B once owned. Similar to the Beauchamp Style 3.

Picture 29 - I have always heard that this is "Woody Cars Steel Guitars" trio - not the slightest idea who they are though!

A few more pieces in the jigsaw eh?
All the best colin
Mark

Re pic 2.

I see what you mean, thanks Mark, for picking that up!

It appears to have a square cut headstock with no MOTS overlay on it. So, not Beauchamp's which had a MOTS headstock. Presumably from the headstock shape it is a single cone. I haven't any pics of the LEM guitar, was that single cone? Do you have any pics?

RE >Pic 29 - Woody Cars Steel Guitars - was written on the photo, whether that is their name is not known. It is a great photo with lots of atmosphere.

Duh! I need more caffine! As Mark points out, Lem H. Giles was Aleth Hansen's name in the Beverly Hill Billies, so it is almost certain the instrument with LEM engraved on it that he holds.

Mark has kindly sent me a pic of LEM, so I have added it and some text to notecannons under the single cone menu.
