That’s the date of the opening reception for the “Natural Reflections” show at
Chromatics 2nd Floor Gallery

I’m going to have not one but TWO of my photos in this show, which will be open until late in June.
Like everybody else in the country, I’m thinking this morning about The Beatles.
Washington Coliseum – Feb 11, 1964
I’m posting because I want to pass along a piece I heard on NPR’s Weekend Edition/Saturday about the first live concert The Beatles performed after their appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show on Feb 9, 1964 – fifty years ago today.
Their first concert was two days later in Washington DC.
The centerpiece of this NPR report is an interview with Mike Mitchell, at the time an 18-year-old photographer who somehow landed the plum gig of shooting this Beatles first U.S. concert. The report revisits the venue, now a derelict building used mostly for a parking lot.
What struck me was the part where Scott Simon asks, “So what did they look like close up?”
And Mike Mitchell answers,
I’ve said before that they kind of were an alien species to us… At that point they looked incredibly fresh, you know, like a fresh iteration of the human race. Read More

Suzy Boggus and Company
We had another one of those “Only In Nashville” kind of nights last night when Suzy Bogguss hosted an outstanding lineup the 3rd and Lindsley Bar & Grill.
Suzy is one of the few artists (and in this case, I use that overused term consciously and deliberately) who achieved some stardom during the “Country Music Integrity Scare” of the 1990s. A lot of the performers who achieved some profile during that period have since disappeared down the backside of the arc of stardom, but Suzy Bogguss keeps turning out great new recordings and remains an absolutely engaging and entertianing performer. I’ve been a fan all along and I’m pleased to see she’s still turning out great music.
Last night at 3rd & Lindsley she opened her own show, joined on stage by Matraca Berg and Gretchen Peters for the ensemble they call “Wine, Women and Song” – offering some of the sweetest three part harmonies since “The Trio” with Emmy, Linda, and Dolly.
That was followed by the real reason for the night, the official release of Lucky, Suzi’s new collection of Merle Haggard songs. For this set she was joined by some of the finest players on the planet: Charlie Chadwick on bass, Chris Scruggs on all sorts of things, Guthrie Trapp on electric guitar, Pat Bergeson on guitars and harmonica, and a drummer, whose name I will insert into this space when somebody reminds me who that was …
Update (Feb 12 ’04): Good News!
Lucky was released yesterday and is already available on Spotify. So have yourself a listen:
P.S. If you see an entry where I have mispelled Suzy’s last name… I know now that there are two “S”s at the end of “Bogguss.” I won’t be making that mistake again…

And the end of an era (for me, anyway…)
I was just scrolling through my photo archives in search of something and found this instead —from June, 2003.
Ann’s boys had just moved to Portland, Oregon and this was our first visit out there to see them.
It was about a month later that I got my first serious digital camera, a Nikon D100, so this one of the last photos I shot with my trusty old Nikon F2 and that mysterious, antiquated substance called “film.”

To download and install the files, please follow these steps:
1. After you have completed your subscription form, a confirmation request will arrive in your inbox. Click on the link in that message. As soon as you confirm your subscription, a new window should open in your default browser with the link to the file download.
2. Click on download link in r browser; If you can, tell the browser which folder you want the filed to download into; if you can’t, it will wind up in your default “downloads” folder.
3. Find the downloaded file and drag it into the folder where keep you desktops – typically something like /pictures/desktops/.
4. Double click on the .zip file to open the archive; this will create a new sub-folder; your desktop photos will be in that folder.
Those steps should work for either MacOS or Windows (if you’re using something than those two common operating systems then you’re more advanced than we are – and you’re on your own).
It’s been almost 7 years now since we stopped using Windows/PCs, so we don’t recall precisely how desktop images are installed for Windows, but it must be something like this process on a Mac:
5. Go to the “System Preferences panel.
6. Select “Desktop & Screen Saver” and then highlight the ‘Desktop” tab.
7. Toward the bottom left corner of that panel you’ll see a “+ ” button. Click that button and a “Finder (Windows=”Explorer”) window will open. Navigate to the folder where you stashed the files in step 3 above.
8. That folder will then show up in the list of desktop image folders, and should become the selected folder for your desktop images
9. Select the image you want to serve as your desktop, then select among the other options like “Change picture” every xx minutes.
10. If you use the “Spaces” feature of OSX (or the Windows equivalent, I have no idea what it would be called…), you’ll have to set a new desktop for each “Space” that have open.
Trust us, it sounds more difficult than it actually is.
The files that we offer for desktops changes from time to time, but these instructions should work regardless of what files you are downloading. If you’re still having issues, please contact list [email protected] and we’ll try to help you out.

Bonnie Bishop
I had the pleasure and privilege of photographing Bonnie Bishop when she performed a showcase at The Rutledge in Nashville back in the winter of 2009.
I’d only learned of Bonnie a few months earlier at the Americana Music Fest. Well, no, not actually at the Americana event, but a week or so later.
I’d sat down to go through some of the printed material from the conference, and then went online to LaLa.com – the site I had been using as my “celestial jukebox” before it was acquired by Apple and shut down in the spring of 2010 – to listen to the recordings of performers whose actual Americana showcases I’d missed.
