The picture of "ST" is Sylvia Tyson.
Attached is a picture of the recently deceased Jerry Miller (ex-Moby Grape) playing my 1961 Gibson B-25 12-String.
This guitar has some battle scars that it picked up playing the main stage with my dad at the Monterey Folk Festival in May 1964. My dad and his group The Village Criers had played the small stage and were not supposed to play the main stage, but were tapped to do so because Ian and Sylvia Tyson had to cancel owing to Ian being ill.
That might have been a career break for my dad, except that mere weeks later he was driving his manager's Triumph Spitfire near Santa Cruz, lost control, rolled it, and was nearly killed. He spent the next couple of months in the hospital, then recuperating at home in a hospital bed where I was, ahem, inadvertently conceived sometime in August. Ultimately that pretty much kiboshed my dad's musical career.
