Oh, babies! My heart
is breaking!
Erin Nekervis continues to show me the photos she is producing
for our new album, The Old Lady Died: A Disgraceful Affair.
We are thinking of an old timey look, and Foz and Erin
checked out a couple of different looks for old timey photos. You know, not all old timey photos look
alike. What they look like depends on
the kind of technology that was used at the time.

Back in the days of wet-plate photography – like, around the
Civil War – photographers printed your pic on a little playing card-sized
thingy called a carte de visite. They
used albumen and some other stuff to make their paper light sensitive. Albumen is eggs. Therefore, the pics look kind of sepia toned
and eggy (after a while). Look at what Erin did to this
wonderful photo of Larry and Cait Bowes.
It looks like an old parlour drama, and Larry looks like a total
Gentleman Caller.

Later, in the 1930s photos looked different. I don’t know why, because, even though I am an historian, I don’t give a rat’s ass about the 20th Century. That’s not even history. It’s yesterday’s news. Still, look at the spooky 1930’s-looking pic
of a rakish reeling Foz with a beautiful, but soon to be ruined, Kate Adams.
No, Kate! Don’t kiss
that drunkard! You will be ruined! You will never find a man to take care of
you, and you will be reduced to making your own way in the world by writing
and singing beautiful songs.
Poor girl! Poor,
poor, girl.
Come to Cole’s tonight and comfort poor Kate by buying her
drinks during Cole’s Comedy Open Mic. If
Kate doesn’t make the scene, just buy Foz a few drinks to salve his ruined conscience
and his pounding headache.
FtH plays at 8:45 or 9:00, and the comics go crazy after
that.
