I came across - Part II


Recommended Posts

This thread picks up where the original I came across... ends.

Thank you, Valerie B., for the suggestion.

In the meantime, here's a transitional Interlude...

It's Saturday night and I ain't got no money... so I thought I'd squeeze this perhaps not so odd trio in here...

The photo is from 1993 when Tse and Franti worked with Burroughs (then 73) on an album entitled Spare Ass Annie and other Tales.

I should really be interpreting and translating some 200 year old tax ledgers from St. Croix, but let me first drop a few more PR glossies on you..

I'll start with Rodney Jones, a Mac user who used to live in my building.

Am I overdoing it with these photos? I have so many, it seems a shame not to share them.

I do have one comment.

I've really enjoyed Chris' archives, but for me they're limited to the actual personal items - photographs, letters, tickets & flyers, etc. Things that are of significance because they show some sort of insight into either him or the artists.

Promotional photos are sort of different to my thinking. While the images are nice, I don't understand the value in posting them as much as the other stuff.

I"m not sure how much storage space Jim has available to him, and maybe it's no big deal really, but I'd vote to drop the promo photos if server storage space is any sort of problem.

Thanks, Aggie, I understand your concern, but I looked into it and was told that—as RC points out—doing this via an outside storage site makes it conscionable, so to speak. As for the personal aspect, I thought my fellow O members might have grown tired of my self-indulgence. I will, however, continue (in moderation) to pop in the occasional personal item.

In the meantime, I sense that some members enjoy looking at these PR photos. I should say that, among the ones I am skipping right now are a lot of artists who were but flashes in the pan of an indiscriminate record industry. Perhaps I'll do something with that, later on.

As we were...
