Ron Thompson + A Special Guitar

When Ron Thompson came to JJ's Blues this Friday club owner Johnnie Perkins did something he's never done before, let a musician use a guitar that had belonged to his father.

Johnnie asked me as House Photographer to get a lot of him using the guitar, so he could email some back to his mother. Ron used the guitar for two songs which he played sitting down, so I had to crawl up the stps leading to the stage, and be leading into, and at some points be on the edge of the stage to capture Ron.

Here are two of my favorites, one with the exit sign in the background, the "proove this was at JJ's detail", and another showing his own guitars, which happened to be lit another color by the stage lighting.
