You are listening to part 2. [00:00:42] Now when I say non-native photographers what many people might show would be this non native white male photographers because after all those are the ones that are represented most in books and in museums. But this is the year women including actually the first two native women were elected to the U.S. Congress. [00:01:08] So to celebrate that and to celebrate the year women I'm now going to give to non-native white male photographers the same amount of time that's usually given to native and female photographers. Moving right along [00:01:41] I do want to spend some time since it easier women talking about some of the lesser known women photographers who were also active around Curtis's time.

  • Community Hoot at Common Fence Music,He’
    Quarantime: Why not learn to play an instrument? Okee dokee folks… Last week I wrote about the way social distancing and the show cancellations that came in its wake have affected artists. If you didn’t have a chance to read it, please do. (https://motifri.com/music-in-the-time-of-corona-musicians-talk-about-the-impact-of-losing-gigs-during-so cial-distancing/ ) “We are all pretty much in the same boat and that boat is the Titanic and it just hit the iceberg. Some folks are taking off alone in the lifeboats while others are giving up their seats.” I will add, “The captain is a moron and his ineptness is adding to the panic.” My good friend and bandmate Dan Lilley has the perfect song for this. His “No Captain at the Wheel” is a great tune about lack of leadership. If any of the past month’s shows had gone on, you could have had the pleasure of seeing him perform it live. Hopefully a recording of it will show up online. Turn on the music, turn off Trump. He is a directionless, narcissistic sociopath and is trying to feed his ego by holding daily press briefings only because he can’t hold his own rallies. His denial is what got us into this mess. A proper pandemic response would have lessened what is happening now. My stomach turns from anything Trump. He is the real virus affecting this country! #TrumpVirus Onto what little music news there is. Read on… If you haven’t already noticed, the internet has been flooded with livestream concerts by artists from those whose only performance experience is in their bedroom all the way to legends like Neil Young.
