Sharp Dressed Man



Spoke to my friend Jim yesterday, who is looking forward to attending a big awards ceremony this weekend. The Grammys, no less! He bought a tuxedo for the occasion, and I'm sure he'll evolve into Handsomus Maximus before he escorts his wife on the red carpet. I know you ladies can get woozy over men in white T-shirts and jeans when you think of one standing by himself. But when it comes to being a couple, when you see yourself in the picture, too, nothing beats the black and white tuxedo, against which your color, sparkle and splendor are shown to best effect. So it is, and so it should be. That's the way we like it, too.

If I need to prove my point, compare and contrast the images above and below.

Hallelujah




Congratulations to Jim Linderman on the first review of his project with Dust-To-Digital, Take Me to the Water: Immersion Baptism in Vintage Music and Photography 1890 - 1950. Jim's collection of vintage photographs of baptism will be featured along with rare gospel and folk recordings related to the subject. I'm eager for the general release of what will be an important contribution to the American story.

Images of these ceremonies are so compelling that I've collected a few myself, including the two above.
