Yeah, thanks for fixing the problem, moderators; I was getting too many other things done - around the house and yard.

This same photo, albeit originally posted as a black and white version, was also repaired by a number of restorers back here: https://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=895809.msg7711947#msg7711947

Glad I could help, goldie.
What a frustrating exercise! You'd think with photography in their genes and a successful band there'd be at least a few photos out there of young James. Good luck with your search.
Cheers.

A work group on some special occasion (either for the company they work for or for society at large)?

Sandy, sincere wishes to you in coping with the issues on your plate. Perhaps you'll be able to return here at same point. I think it's a great website with most people being friendly and polite, sadly not all that common today.
Cheers,
Peter

Sorry, goldie, I can’t see what it says; it just pixellates too much to work it out.
Funny what you pick up sometimes when restoring photos. I knew approximately zero about banjos. I started wondering about that indent about half way along the top of the neck and started googling. I now know it’s part of how a 5 string banjo was made, and 5 string banjos were very popular in the late 19th-early 20th century.
Anyway, hope this version is okay.

The Modify button for each post (next to the Quote button) only appears for 24 hours after your post, so, yes, contacting Sarah either by the Moderator button or by PM becomes the only way to go. The mods are busy people with their own lives so they may not be able to reply promptly at times. However, there have been a few members commenting lately that they have had trouble contacting a moderator, making them wonder whether there is some other problem lurking. Just keep trying is all I can suggest.
