The Hired Hands logo was designed and drawn by Steve Lindsay, our first bass player and a fine artist and cartoonist. This is a photo of the current Hired Hands line-up of Don Richmond, Jim Bradley, and Billy Bond (l-r) taken by our guitar player friend Tom Munch of Pueblo, CO in the doorway of the Canon Rose Acoustic Society hall in Canon City, CO.
These photos were taken by Lloyd Engen, a photographer, writer and friend from Alamosa, at the 1997 Sunshine Festival in Alamosa, not long after the three of us started playing together.
This is a photo snapped by Jim's wife Sarah that we used for the inside of the booklet on Stuff That Works. It was taken right at sunset on the Colorado - New Mexico border about 6 miles south of Antonito on Highway US 285. It was late October, the wind was blowing about 25 miles an hour, and was probably about 38.5 degrees. Brisk. Of course, Don is standing on the Colorado side of the border (the fenceline) and Eddy Lee and Jim are on the New Mexico side. Highly symbolic and no doubt deeply significant, huh? It was actually staggeringly beautiful. Mt Blanca looked like a pink and white ship spotlighted on the horizon, sailing off into never-never land. It was fun. The concrete pillar is no doubt from some earlier survey marking the state border, or perhaps a rather small megalith left from some earlier civilization. Atlantis or Lemuria perhaps. The secrets of the universe are chiseled in a ring around its base, but of course, we can't recognize the writing anymore. Such luck.
This is a picture taken by our friend Wayne Evanson with his digital camera at the Sagebrush around Christmas time.
Another one of Wayne's shots - same night. We're the headliners in Longmont on July 15th - here's proof!
For those of you who missed the big Y2K night with us at La Fonda, when modern civilization as we know it didn't change one damn bit - here's the menu. It was GOOD. |
