Bruce Kallick has made it possible to see 230 or so of The RIVER YEARS photos I took between 1986 and 1997 when I was singing on the Steamboat JULIA BELLE SWAIN and the riverboat TWILIGHT on the Mississippi and Illinois Rivers. (A few other rivers are here too--the Rock River in Illinois and Wisconsin---the Ohio River and the Umpqua River in Oregon.) Like my FOLK SCENE photos, this new batch can be viewed at:

Remember to put in the lower case word mudcat as both the 'user name' and the 'password.' That will get you in.

There are now 3 albums up there: "People"--"Places"--and "The River Years"

A few of these river snapshots are repeats from the 'Folk Scene' gallery. But for the most part, they are not ones Mudcatters have seen before. -- There was a recent thread here called ART'S PHOTOS that I cannot seem to find using the Forum Search. That is where we had been talking about getting these shots of mine up on B.K. Lick's good site. I'll be adding information on some of 'em as time and energy permits. I hope they'll be enjoyable to some. It was fun choosing them.
