I've not listened to DK but I do get a laugh out of seeing that pic. But what's with that pickguard on the Tele? I've never seen one like that.

Great montage....was that little twit only 5 feet tall? (picture with the "yardstick")
It may be a relic of the photoshopping process, most likely from editing out the original player's hand. FWIW, I'm 95% sure that that Tele is taken from a picture of Albert Collins and flipped left-for-right - note the humbucker neck pickup, capo, and strap over one shoulder only.
What was the point of the capo? I know he liked different tunings, but the capo seems like a crutch to me, but I don't play guitar too much.
Looks like 5' 9" is at the top of his head.
The capo lets you use open chords and open strings in higher positions. This is not a substitute for barre chords; they sound fundamentally different - try playing an open G chord, and then a 3rd fret barre G.
I think I get it now.
Ooooh, that is really pretty devolve. Sexy but pretty, lol.
Colonel Prouty maintains that the latter memo was prepared PRIOR to JFK being whacked.
I have been able to dig from my records a most important and fascinating collection of copies of the McGeorge Bundy drafts of what became NSAM 273, dated Nov. 21, Nov. 24, and Nov. 26. The Draft coding indicates that Mac Bundy sent copies to no less than 9 key Kennedy people. In the process it was modified several times by various other offices; and the Final, Nov. 26th, LBJ copy is very different from the original JFK draft by Mac Bundy.
JFK's NSAM 263 began the withdrawal to be complete by the 64 election, but the whole plan was to be concealed. The day after his burial NSAM 273 reflects an earlier draft dated 21 Nov 63.
11/21/63
DRAFT
TOP SECRET
NATIONAL SECURITY ACTION MEMORANDUM NO.
LBJ didn't do any clandestine withdrawal by the 64 election--he was running against my guy, Barry Goldwater, hence had to appear tough.
LBJ Nov 65 refused the joint chiefs' request to bomb Hanoi and mine Haiphong, handcuffing the military to defeatist political meddling.
Old enough to have known people who were actually there-- some were stalwarts in our community. Essentially, he was in a storm of gunfire.
My parents were diehard Kennedy lovers therefore I was exposed to quite a bit of what happened then. In Life magazine, I believe, but could have been Look, two young black men who appeared to be looking from a window on a lower floor of the Book Depository, were screaming at that cameraman and pointing down and to their right which could have been the street, or the grassy knoll. IMO they believed they saw something and were pointing to where.
In one of those two magazines, on the viaduct over Commerce, Main and Elm streets a man in a business suit was standing in what I remember as a Parade Rest position with a rifle. Which in theory would have been an ideal location for a shooter.
Dozens of men ran up the grassy knoll chasing something. Either MacNeil or Leherer[sp?] was there and chased and was filmed.
The original reports of capture was of three men in Ft. Worth. Then reports of Oswald. Then the men in Ft. Worth. And that sorta drifted away to Oswald only.
An old man who has passed on and was there told me "they shot that [blanking] Kennedy from behind that fence [grassy knoll], from the highway[??? maybe that viaduct??], and from that tall building[not the Book Depository]."
IIRC that man was never threatened, but the Oswald story came out so fast and strong that even before 1964 people "knew what had happened" so he and perhaps others were told they were wrong and enjoyed demonstrating how smart they were by shouting he and others who were there down how Oswald did it alone.=-)
The question is, did Posner act alone....
IMHO, the real *smoking gun* of such docs would be one showing not that Oswald was at Peary or Harvey Point, but that the mentally disturbed former Marine in Chicago who was planning to shoot JFK from an upper-story apartment window en route to a ball game there in early November 1963 [about the time that Premier Diem of Vietnam went through a *regime change.*] had been at the *farm* at Peary at the same time
Right off hand I can't recall the name of the Chicago shooter, but I reckon a search for framed USSS agent Abe Bolden would turn it up.
Show me THAT in crusty old documents and I'll be more interested. The real question here should be just who is dangling the papers, forged or not.
Indeed. Thanks for the ping!
Dang...those Rolands have been around a while.
To me, it looks like an inertial effect resulting from his sudden jumping / leaning back out of the line of fire...
