Naked sound? What was on the rear side of the shirt? If you mean the one in center front, holding a can of beer with his head turned towards me, It's Gary Wheelington...he was a dealer rep at Klpsch...died in a car accident less than a year after he left Klipsch! If you mean the one to Gary's left behind him...it's been many years, and I can't remember his name...LOL! Above the LaScala on the front of the shirt is what many call the Klipsch "Laser Logo". If I remember correctly the back of the shirt said "A legend in Sound" with "Feel the Kick" below it. That was actually my FAVORITE Klipsch shirt...along with the yellow "bullchit" shirt....I wore out a number of the yellow ones the years, but I only was able to get one of the "Naked Sound" LaScala Shirts...needless to say, it finally went to pieces and no way to replace it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seadog Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 I found a photo of me. Not very old, from 2008. That is my son in back and a friend of his with the hat on. We were camping at Dinosaur Valley State Park when we decided to take a drive through a nearby wild animal sanctuary. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that any of it would still fit me (oh HELL no!), but some of those clothes would be fun to show people nowadays. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My feet were in excruciating pain when this pic was taken, but REAL PARATROOPERS just NEVER miss a chance for a balloon jump! : This is me (Second from left) after working at Klipsch for a year or so...with a group from the Hope area, down in Shreveport, LA getting pre-partied-up prior to going to a WiIlie Nelson/Leon Russell concert at Hirsch Memorial Colosseum: Awesome shots! I think part of what makes Klipsch such a great brand is the living heritage that goes well beyond the Heritage speakers. I have to say that when I saw these photos the first thing that came to my head was: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klipsch hat rule#1: Always make sure that your pull your wetsuit hood OVER your Klipsch hat when going diving in the Philippines, instead of wearing the hat on top of your hood...because the winds on the banka boat taking you to the dive site will blow the hat off...and if the winds don't do it, when you get in the water some darned HUGE angelfish (or worse) will grab it off your head and wear it around to impress the Bose-loving clownfish.

mungkiman Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 While not a picture of me, this might provide some insight. The placard came with sauna equipment installed in my basement, but I posted it on the clothes dryer... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

minermark Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Doomed to be a sailor from a young age, i wonder if i was a test subject? This was my dad's first (dry) sub 1962, model 600. The popular series was the model 300 as seen in Flipper/Thunderball. Everyone in Newport/Balboa had boats, and some dam fine one's at that. We had Subs, interesting childhood. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
