Photography Meets Music
My photographic hero and one of the best voices to come along in ages…together in one photo! They would be Dick Waterman and Karen Lovely.
Somewhere in my archives is a story about a book Mr Waterman wrote that LD and I read together, a story or two at a time.
In case you weren’t aware, Mr Waterman was a promoter and manager for many of the old bluesmen and blueswomen back in the late sixties and early seventies. If not for his efforts, many artists would have languished in obscurity. Along the way, he and the artists became friends. His photographs are incredible; a beautiful look at moments that would have otherwise been lost to us forever. I love his work. His stories are also unparalleled.
Somewhere in my many photos from last weekend lurks a photo of us together. Hardly important, but significant personally. So, here, you get about photo of the man, this time all on his own.
And then there’s the lovely Karen Lovely. Her voice is just so beautiful and wholly original. In the blues world, far too many female vocalists end up trying to emulate Etta James and Janis Joplin. None of that with Karen! I could listen to her all day long. Add to that the fact that she really is a lovely woman, inside and out, and you have an artist you really want to tell the world about.
Just to give you a little taste of what this lady can do:
Oh, my. She has a lovely voice and style! I could listen to her all day, too!
:clap:

She’s smoother than a glass of the finest Bourbon.
One of which I now raise to her, in appreciation and praise.
A voice like that isn’t mere music. It is a massage of the soul.

Glad you enjoyed, Jim. I heartily recommend picking up her Still The Rain CD. I guarantee that’ll make your day.
