Thanks again for these great pictures and song selections! Yes, Jerry Miller is truly a somewhat forgotten guitar master. Maybe if they ever finish that reunion album and perform again, he/they may earn a bit more respect. Youtube has a very recent complete show w/ Miller & Don Stevenson playing some old 'Grape tunes w/ a back-up band at charity show in the Northwest. By the way, where is the live photo of Jerry and Skip on this post taken from? I don't think I'v seen it before.
I am not aware of the source for this picture sorry
