Sure. I have a picture of him talking on the phone with his Jimi 
Hendrix photo in the foreground.

BTW, he has a guy print for him. He says he's used the same printer 
now for 22 years. The guy has a key to his house! :-) That's a 
trusting relationship. The prints themselves were gorgeous, and you 
can tell in the book that they Jim Marshall's very particular about 
how his prints are done. Very straightforward, but with a wonderful 
tonal range.

Man, I'm really beginning to think I might be going into a black and 
white phase. :-)
