The Peter Green photo thread

[Evan Morris]

According to the Celmins biography, Peter told John Mayall that he'd had an offer to join the Animals.
This was after Clapton left the Bluesbreakers for the second time, and Peter was trying to make Mayall sweat a little as to whether or not he ( Peter ) would return.

Based on this information, one could assume the Burdon and Green crossed paths back in the day.

Evan Morris: Thanks for the info about Peter being offered a job with the Animals. I've read it long ago, but forgotten all about it.

Jim Morrison:
Bob Brunning (Fleetwood Mac's first and temporary bassist) formed two bands with Bob Hall (piano).

Brunning Sunflower Blues Band released an LP called "Brunning Sunflower Blues Band" in the late 60's, featuring Peter Green on about half of the tracks. Peter's playing is brilliant, and he also sings on a couple of tracks.

Tramp released two LPs called "Tramp" (1969) and "Put A Record On" (1974), featuring Danny Kirwan and Mick Fleetwood on most tracks.

One question for you all: A few years ago Peter's nephew Joe Green visited this forum and posted a few drawings that Peter Green made. I downloaded them, but lost them in a computer crash a while back. Now I can't find them on this forum either. Does anybody here have these photos and be able to post them again?
That would make me veeerrry happy.

Are these them?

To Dan & Libra:

They're a bit psychedelic..

These pictures are fascinating, abstract and unselfconscious and I don't know why I'm surprised- they are clearly from an intensely creative imagination. I wonder when they were done?

This gotta me my new favourite picture.

Haha, I don't know where it's from.. Spain or Italy maybe??
It was posted here at the Ledge forum a while ago. I think it was by member Mario.

Here's one I hadn't seen until recently. Don't know who that other guy is.... maybe Peter Vernon-Kell?

If that isn't Ronnie Lane, I'll sell my car. Ronnie Lane was the bass player in the Small Faces, and later The Faces. He's out of your realm of blues music. What makes the photo interesting is that Peter Green is getting fat, drinking beer, and hanging out with (at the time) rock stars. Whomever found this photo deserves proper credit.

You'd better get used to public transport Slipkid !
I don't think the other person is Ronnie Lane - he looks a little like him. but it's not him. Peter's not that tall, but Ronnie would surely be shorter than Peter !
