Back then and now - get your photos out

Just saw a picture on Facebook from when we first started as a band 32 years ago. We have had various drummers and bass players but basically me and the singer have been playing together in a band for all these years. I've changed a bit  

And now - taken a couple of weeks ago :

What you got - Then and Now ?

This is as Then as I have ( I was a late starter - I don't know when this was from but maybe 15 years ago?) http://i1278.photobucket.com/albums/y513/phlplls/Mobile Uploads/2015-09/D02012E1-F4DA-414F-8BAE-CE1C5C5768E7_zps3si0thze.jpg and this is fairly recently Now http://i1278.photobucket.com/albums/y513/phlplls/Mobile Uploads/2015-08/6708A4C2-2BA8-4552-9FE8-3513407ACC70_zpsmkux1oau.jpg Edit: I think the first one is in The Maverick in Stourbridge,which still has live bands, the second is - obviously - 2Tone Central in Coventry.

Sadly not the same Aria - I had to spend 15 years looking for a replacement after I modded the original one beyond repair...

Same expression and playing the same lick as well I think! In my defence most of that time hasn't been spent playing so it's a miracle I can remember how to play anything at all!

Oh yes I have - I have less hair for a start . Since I missed that this was supposed to be live photos, I'll have another go … although I don't have a huge number of pics, and none very recent I can find.
