Bizarrely, many of those guitars appear to be the same guitars in both photos, though some new ones have been squeezed in for the later photo.

What is McCabe's? A music store, or something more?

Hey Susanne, Yes. the book is a few years old now. Henry's pix are wonderful as usual. And in a nice coincidence, Henry took some other pix of me at McCabes on this last tour (May-June) -- also by the guitar wall. I don't understand how to post pictures here on this Message Board but maybe grant's arm can be twisted.
The photos were taken almost exactly 46 years apart -- to the day.
Watch for a post from grant -- or from someone who knows how to copy/paste onto the board.

I just came across a new (well, published in 2009) book, Canyon of Dreams by Harvey Kubernik. It's quite interesting, has many pictures including quite a few by Henry Diltz, and there are even a couple of references to Bob Lind! There's a photo of Bob posing in front of a wall full of guitars (was this taken in McCabes?) Anyway, it's a cool book with many interviews and different perspectives on what it was like here in LA back in the days when Laurel Canyon was in its heyday.
