Thinking of putting together a little Tyrone Washington CD compilation for myself, and wondered what all pics might be out there of the man. I don't own all the BN photography books personally -- I don't suppose there's any with a shutter-date of the infamous "Trainwreck" session by any chance?? (And that date is: August 16, 1968.)

(I'm afraid I don't have a scanner either, so if anyone has any TW pics that we can't already find on-line, and if you wouldn't mind scanning an uploading them -- thanks in advance!!)

Here's a rare one, to get us started -- the "Jody Grind" quintet...

Thanks Chuck!! Any others, anyone?

Searching around on-line, here's a B&W version of the photo from Natural Essence, but without the NE cover typography. Hadn't ever seen it before, and judging from the square cropping of it, I suspect there's a larger and more complete version out there somewhere.

Why don't you contact Barbara Washington Franklin - if she's still alive, that is?

Upon discovering her book earlier today (and the Tyrone reference), that thought had crossed my mind.

three weeks ago she still gave a talk on "becoming a woman of influence", so i guess chances are pretty good...

on the book's final pages there's a phone number, email address... and a little bit about her family background...

(btw, tyrone washington being the anticipated answer to a question in class seems rather unlikely... )

her late husband

to collect this before it gets lost: barbara was tyrone's older sister, born in blakely georgia; at age six she already lived in newark; their mother was eunice vetta ross washington...
