Wondering if anyone out there could help me identify a few "mystery" signatures? I've been collecting signatures on the inside of my resonator for 25 years and I just took it off recently to have a look. There's five names I can't remember who they were (my memory fading??)
Thanks! Your brother in banjo,
Doug

...can you move [attach?] them from "media" on your home page to a post in this thread?

In any event .... you can eliminate me from your list of possibilities.  sad

From w-a-y  out past left field, and with the help of Google, I've come across a "Digger" Cleverly   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Cleverlys

Post the pictures directly to this forum. Though they are on your media page, making them easily accessible on this page will get you more replies.

When you (and only you) view this page, you can scroll down to an attachments box that has your media photos. click on each one and they will appear in "your attachments" box. Then click post reply.

Very simple and much more convenient for us that have sucky internet connections.

Not sure exactly what you mean Bob, this is the first time I've posted anything and not really familiar with the format. Thanks for replying though! Much appreciated.

Bob Smakula has a slow internet connection. He's posted about it before.
If one posts pictures on the thread rather than having them on your media
account, it makes it easier for him.

Re. "more convenient for us that have sucky internet connections.... " and "... easier for him."

Though I'm not particularly adept re. computer/phone, and my internet service is probably adequate, doesn't having the pics within the thread make it easier for everybody?
