Felix Pappalardi

Singer, Bassist

Mountain

On this website, a fan claims Pappalardi handed him two guitar picks backstage, a Tortoise Shell pick that appears to be quite thin, reading "FELIX PAPPALARDI", and what appears to be a vintage Herco #49 Tortoise Shell pick, identifiable by it's shape and the glued-on pieces of cork used as a gripping surface.

"The memory of Mountain at Woodstock though, was overshadowed by the bands that followed (see About page) but I became a student of Felix's after returning from the festival. A couple years later I was standing at the front of the stage focused on Felix's fingers and he opened my mind to the possibility I could do that too - Felix had shown me the way! I nearly crossed over when I called out "Felix!" as he walked off stage of the Capitol Theater, Port Chester, NY (1970-71) and he came over and handed me his guitar pick. Here're some awesome items I've collected..."

"The gifted pick and a second, unique, smaller one below with a piece of cork on either side to grip."
