A short visual trip down musical memory lane

[gerisullivan]

This picture is for coffeeem, who is asking after photos of herself from 20 years ago. Okay, so this is more like 25 years, but at least I got the decade right! It will also be of interest to markiv1111, skzbrust, and friends near and far. It's a scan of the photostat the Albany Free Traders used to print publicity/performance flyers back in the day. Early 1980s, IIRC. The band members probably have a better handle on the specifics. Clicking on the image will take you to a larger version of it. I think it's the only AFT picture I have. The stat is in rough shape. I cleaned up a bit of the water damage in the upper right corner, but didn't futz with it beyond that. Does anyone remember who took the picture? Emma, did you do the design work? Remember layout before computers? I'm so glad we're living in the future now....

OMG! They're all so young! So young that Steve Brust hadn't even grown his hat yet!

Thanks for posting that.

Good grief.

Yeah, okay, that takes me back!

Wonderful! Actually, that's how all of you look in my memory's eye. Must be early 80s.

Cool! barondave once gave me a mix tape with a couple of Albany Free Traders songs on it and I loved them but that's the extent of my experience (must've been before my time).

I may never recover.

Kara did the design and layout. Yep, stuff cut from Dover clip art books and stuck down with hot wax!

Wait a minute! The early 80s were 25 years ago?

...

Oh, god. No wonder my back hurts.

It's the glasses that get me.

Wow. Steve looks almost harmless, but not so much so that you wouldn't recognize him.

Oh My...

I'm so glad you found this, Geri! I've been looking around for that picture. Gads we were pups!

Cheers,
Jean
