I picked up a copy of Anthology of American Folk Music by Harry Smith at the library today. I'm interested in hearing it because I read some articles stating that this is the 1920 - 1930s influence music for the likes of Bob Dylan and Joan Baez... not to mention the ultimate folker, Woody Guthrie. Just listening to some snippets, it's definitely a sign of the times - both for recording and for playing. It sounds comical by today's standards, but the 1960s protesters stuck to this method and struck gold with songs like Mr. Tambourine Man, Sweet Sir Galahad and Puff the Magic Dragon.
Side note... there's a video out somewhere... of Puff the Magic Dragon. I remember a cartoon from when I was a youngster... it was rather sad of a video, I thought... but I strangely remember it now, more than 30 years later... I think I need to scour the world wide web to find it... relive my youth!
I've got a little over a week to play the Anthology in my car, so it'll be cool to listen to something different on my way to and from work.
I officially took some "ok, decent" photos on my new iPhone. A few from work, which came out okay, a few from last night's sunset, and a few of a candy filled skull. None were edited for tone, color or contrast, and the only major difference between them are wide angle for the work shots and sunset shots, and portrait mode on the skull shots. All filters were done on the phone itself.
Again, iPhone 11 (basic) model:
I guess that's it for now... until I listen to the folk music and decide to try the phone some more.
Cheers;
