Yer Rock & Roll 2
I'm going to try and avoid turning this blog into the 'music I really, really like blog' but this is irresistible. It's an acoustic version of Jerry Garcia's 'Reuben and Cerise', recorded in Oregon State Prison. The song charms me enormously (the very first blog I posted was about it). I don't know who put together the pictures to accompany the music but they did an amazingly good job. Let's see who readers can recognise. I'll start you off with a few random ones: Frida Kahlo, James Joyce, Jack Nicholson as the Joker. Then there are images of the less well-known and unknown: the then tallest man in the world and his (bemused looking) parents (I think this was taken in New York in the 1950s) and a rather endearing one of two very young looking lovers (I think again New York about 1960). I could be wrong about the provenance of either/both of these photos, though. Then there are images of assorted locations. I must admit I haven't a clue where they are. A lot are in the states but not all. Enjoy...

yenno, one of the pics i think was taken in Yosemite Nationpark in Cali (looks like the work of Ansel Adams ?), some of the other pics are defintely in Paris. Walked along the Seine too many times not to recognise it.
Cannot help on the pple I am afraid :(
OKay, here's another - W.B.Yeats - it's all the sort of familiar looking women who are causing me much puzzlement - like the one with Mickey Mouse ears - and Virginia Woolf (I think) and the old bloke with the hair - he looks familiar...
ohohohohoh...nice man emailed back and gave me the link where he nicked the pics from.
AND..-drumroll- guess who was right with the Ansel Adams photographs!
Btw.. yes Yeats was in it too!
Woman with bunny ears is still bugging me, couldnt find it. Maybe you have more luck later on.
M - you've obviously been doing some research! care to share it?
