Surely this image is reversed ?
It's the "Steel Guitar Jazz Album Syndrome" all over again !! |

Unless he's left-handed playing a left-handed instrument there's no doubt that you're right.  (as opposed to left) |

| Roy had something to say about this in one of his old fan club newletters. I'll dig into my archives(or is it anchovies) after the holidays and post it. Happy holidays to all of you. As for me I have other plans. cc |

| Roy probably got a kick out of the reversal. We had a picture of Weldon Myrick, with his Emmons, that was reversed in the store (Little Roy Wiggin's Music City store)and Roy would always show that to people and thought it was funny. |

| Jack, were you there when Roy was a Vox dealer? I have the album showing him playing what appears to be a Vox steel. I purchased a S8 from him and three days later it was stolen off the bandstand in Austin at Gil's. Maybe the Vox on the album cover was posed as was Herb Remingtons Fender black and white pedal guitar on one of his old albums. Herby, as I remember said Fender was pushing that guitar so he areed to sit behind it but not play it or words to that effect. cc |

| He wasn't a Vox dealer when I was there in 71/72. He didn't have any specific amp dealerships at that time. Primarily the Grammer Guitars and the Emmons steel's. |

| I think it might be a reflection in a window. |

I have that L.P. I think the sign in the Window is meant to read correctly from OUTSIDE, but someone reversed the picture so that it reads normally from INSIDE  |
