A few years ago, I was able to purchase a lot of pics from one of Jerry's scrap books on eBay. I gave most of the pics to my teacher Jeff Kearns cause he's got a huge Jerry collection (including Jerry personal Trot-More 7-string, and one of this bars and a set of picks). But I kept a couple and finally got round to scanning them today. The first is Jerry with his pre-war Rick B-7 with ? (anyone know who that is?); the second is a show from the 50s sometime (note the Stringmaster on stage--not a Rick console). Not sure who he's playing with or where.

Enjoy!

That looks a lot like Neil Flanz. Neil appears in the second photo below with Jerry. Compare.. you decide! 😊

That is definitely Neil Flanz. From the time frame and Neil's age the photo may have been taken in Montreal (???)

I believe the bottom photo was 1957 in Nashville. Not sure about the top photo.
