01 Feb 01 - 11:37 AM (#387491) Subject: Any help in finding Musicians' photos? From: Rick Fielding As some of you may know, I've been converting our basement from rec-room cum TV centre (Heather will have to watch Judging Amy upstairs now) to a house-concert/workshop/folkie venue space. Yup, as Dylan advises, I'm "bringin' it all back home". On the back wall I've put up a lot of posters and photos from my years of plunking on the road. Even got a "Heroes' Gallery", but I'm missing about seven much needed photos (or copies of photos) Anyone know of any sites where I might find some decent pics of: The Delmore Brothers Merle Travis Flatt and Scruggs George Gershwin The Stanley Brothers Sergei Rachmaninov Bix Biederbecke I've gone through the search engines without a lot of luck, so I thought someone might already have discovered a good site for this kind of thing. My only other option is to cut 'em out of books...and that's sacrilege. Thanks Rick |

If you have any trouble cutting & pasting, let me know. I can take them into my photo program and size them, etc. This is fun, do we get to see pix of the room when you are done?:-) luvyakat |
