I'm not sure the lady in #2 would be too happy with you calling her an old timer. 

 

I love how you manage to capture the essence of the event with such tightly cropped images.

These just get better, Martyn! Smashing close-ups.

[Terry]

Great, keep them coming #1 for me

 first one I think I may have waited until his head was turned a little more my way. The last I'm sorry but I just don't like the  angle of the shot and the oddness of the lady's leg which just pulls the eye but liking the second one a lot, a really good study.

Ha! Ha! ......having the leg in that position is how a Tea-Chest Bass is played.....no foot on the tea chest and you wouldn't be able to keep the string tight or adjusted for notes............1956-57 the birth of Skiffle .........I was there..........good old Lonnie Donnagan.......DOES YOUR CHEWING GUM LOSE ITS FLAVOUR.........Google it.

See here....

Number 3 for me - very nice indeed. And...

 

I'm not sure that ANY of them would be happy to be called old timers. When does someone become an old timer? 40? 49? 60? 72?

Me too. I will be seventy at the end of the year. John is seventy four and I don't think of us as old timers .

You folks crack me up!   Just in case there is any misunderstanding about the term "old timers" this bunch would be proud to bear the title; it refers to the musical genre of American old time music!

[Korky]

Well why didn't you say so, then? Us old timers need things explaining - especially when it concerns that there beat music!

 

Must dash, matron says it's time for my suppository.

 yes fuji I know but as I said "from that angle the leg looks odd" and it does. Whilst it might not have been possible the picture would have worked better by moving around to the left, maybe including the 3rd member too.
