Photo Album: Bob pix

Rick Lee took this picture in the Costco parking lot in Norfolk a few years back for an article that Cathy Britell wrote for Autoharpaholic -- that's the back of my trusty fan I'm leaning against. Good times! |
This one was taken in Finland aboard a tall ship called the Wappen during the Shantytour '97. It was actually a pretty nice day, and a whole troupe of us had one of those Finnish saunas and jumped naked into the Baltic. TMI. |
When I was in Bermuda in 1990 for the conclusion of the tall ship race -- and Op Sail 200 began -- I fulfilled a lifelong ambition to swim with my cetacean friends. There's a story here, and one day I'll tell it on these pages .... |
This one is from Annapolis MD, from pix taken for an article on music from the Chesapeake Bay. |
The picture that appears on the cover of "It's About Time" was taken by famed Tidewater portraitist Bill McIntosh for a show he did featuring local folk. I liked it so much, well, you know the rest! |
This is a composite I put together featuring two favorites -- my Hohner melodion, and CGC Sebago. I made a song called "Ocean Station Bravo" about something that happened while I was serving as a sonarman aboard the Sebago from 1966-68. She's part of a reef now, somewhere near Mobile. |
Another composite, one that includes cittern, autoharp and concertina. The concertina was made in 1887 or so, by Lachenal -- read about him and Charles Wheatstone here. |
This one's from the Pilot Schooner Virginia at Norfolk Harborfest one year -- a happy day, with happy memories of seeing the schooner built, launched, and become a sailing stage! |
One of my very favorites, taken by Norfolk photographer Martin Smith-Rodden. The picture in the background is of William Conrad Buhler, a.k.a. Ramblin' Conrad, taken sometime in his early childhood. That's his guitar, too -- the one he'd slung over his back the night I met him, hitchhiking in the rain. A moment that would change my life, and many other folk lovers in Hampton Roads .... |
