Take This Hammer

I've been listening to a lot of Lead Belly lately while I work. His voice makes my skin tingle. Makes my feet tap. Gets me goin.

just for fun... a side-by-side comparison

I gave a presentation of my work at the Convent of the Sacred Heart school in Manhattan this past week. The students were really excited about the musicians series, and really wanted to hear what the music sounded like. So, I dredged up this video footage that Heart Montalbano took from my unorganized computer files. We looked at the video footage and the tintype side by side, and the kids thought it was a funny comparison, and I rather enjoyed the comparison myself, so I figured I'd post it. You know, just for the heck of it.
