I attend WKU and my first 2 years I was a photo student, before switching majors (I still shoot photos on the side) A lot of the teachers start class with what they call an eye opener, during one of these classes about a year and a half ago the teacher showed us a photographer named Gregory Heisler. Heisler had done a lot of photos of banjo players including Earl which I thought I would share with you all. In one of the pictures there is a neck tie with the Hearts and Flowers inlay pattern on it, I was wondering if anyone might know where to find one of these. Here is a link to his site http://gregoryheisler.com/#a=0&at=0...0000&s=0&p=7

Man, I'll bet those neckties would sell like mad on the Hangout!
I'd buy one if I knew where.

I'm guessing that 7 is Taj Mahal.

Man --- the Cig butt stuck under the strings reminds me of me in my earlier days!
That could of been a pic of my RB-250's peg head from 20 years ago --
but I don't/ didn't have 4 Keith D-tuners on it.
I wonder if folks do that anymore???

Exceptional. I wouldnt have recognized Pete Seegar except for the banjo.
Thanks for posting these. Some of the best I've seen.

Found this while I was combing the web. Not photography, but nice portrait I had not seen before by Kathy Chesters.

I'm not convinced that #9 is Snuffy Jenkins. I have emailed the gallery and asked for identification. Will post what they say if they reply.

I don't know.... I sort of like that "Godfather" thing he's got going there.

#2 - you don't see that inlay often on a resonator banjo with that flange. But McEuen has one.

Wow! #5 is Morgan Sexton!

I concur with Hugh, and for the same reasons given. Definitely McEuen.

Great pics. I agree with you JJ and I'm a dyed in the wool Scruggophile! When I fist saw it, I thought it was Paddy Maloney from the Chieftains! Imagine that? I'll go stand in the corner for ten minutes now.

Long ago while he was still playing in Weary Hearts, Mike Bub gave me a tie like that. (I later gave it to somebody too, but don't recall who.) Mike might remember where he got it.
