Gibson Southern Jumbo

In the first picture is my Dad holding my three year old 1967 Gibson SJ.  I bought this guitar brand new at Harmony Kids on Portage Ave in Winnipeg.  I got it just before the sales tax came to Manitoba.  I used my Fender Concert as a trade--should have kept the Concert but in 1967 I just did not have the cash for both.  In the second photo I am holding Bill Emerson's Pete Seeger Model Vega banjo while looking at my bride Donna.  In the top photo is My Dad (now 92), my Mom, me, Donna, my brother Bob and Bill's wife Maria.  In the bottom photo the kid is my little brother Brian and the hippie is Bill Emerson.  The Vega was stolen, so I'd like to give a shout out to the low life scum who now has it.  Not news that artsy folk, especially musicians are amont the greatest, life loving, kindest and most interesting members of our society, so anyone who steals a musician's instrument has got to be among the worst of the worst of humanity.
