At this point I think it's better to have something than nothing. I can always change the frame later, and if I decide to sell it, I probably will. It's a frame-size that was standard back then, so it's just a matter of finding one I like better.
Regarding #1 vs #2 - in 'person', #1 pops real well, and #2 doesn't. Also, as the last poster predicted, I'm already looking at the header in #2 and thinking I just don't like it. But the names and positions are spaced perfectly in the first one, and real close in the second - all were very carefully measured, drawn on lines, then the lines erased. I've spent hours practicing writing these names, until it came naturally, so I'm happy with the results; however, I'm asking the framer, whose opinion I have a great deal of respect for, for honest opinions.
At this point, I just want to get this picture on my wall - it's been in the closet wayyyy too long and needs to be next to my Wagner portrait.
Thanks for all the comments and suggestions.

Scott, good on you no matter what you chose. At the end of the day you are the one who will be looking at it. To quote the great Ricky Nelson - "You can't please everyone so you've got to please yourself"
