Leadon Love: The Bernie Leadon Photo Thread

One of you geniuses need to see if you can enlarge this cuz I've been trying and must be doing something wrong. Can get it to double the size but it won't hold it. Anyway, this is Bernie and Gram Parsons in their Flying Burrito Brothers days.

hey, I don't think that is Gram.

it looks kind of like gib guilbeau to me and he appears to be holding a fiddle... Gram didn't really play fiddle (he barely played guitar and piano)....

it might be Gram, but, it kinda looks like Gib to me..

I agree that picture doesn't look much like Gram, but then, what do I know. I don't think that picture looks much like Bernie either, although I'm sure it must be. I think Bernie changed a lot in between his days between being a Flying Burrito and an Eagle. I think it may have been the mustache that made him look so different.

with the Burritos in 1969

Doesn't look like Gib to me. Looks like Gram. That is vintage Burrito Bernie, so it makes sense to me that Gram is standing on stage with him. Besides, don't know of Bernie ever jamming with Gib (although i wouldn't doubt that he did).

Judy, is that your record??? What a find.

I like all three of those songs. I guess because I love country and bluegrass music, I have always liked the songs that the Eagles did when Bernie was a member because he played the banjo on some of them.

Nice pictures of Bernie! As I was telling Bernie's Bender the other day, I could never understand the appeal of JD Souther.

This is a pic from Fantastic Expedition of Dillard & Clark. I believe that's Bernie standing in back with light shirt. Sure looks like that grin he always has. Once again, I can't make it larger.

Here you go

I also think that's Bernie standing with the light shirt on.

I called one of my friends over the weekend and I repeated this lack of interest in JD... her reply....

"JD had a lot of charisma... in his pants..."

Awesome pic! (so few of early Dillard & Clark) Yep, that's (L-R) Doug Dillard, Bernie, Gene Clark (on motorcycle) and David Jackson.
