The photo included with this post is of Mark Zaputil and Mick Orton having fun on stage at Scotty’s in Wayne, NE. I think I recall playing this venue several times early in my days with Silver Laughter. It looks like we were having fun onstage! And it appears that it was before I started using my thumb pick to play bass.
