Route profile of photographer Richard Davis

 Photographer Richard Davis has been documenting the people and sights of Hulme in Manchester for four decades. This lovely short film features Richard in situ reflecting on what's so special about the place.

I am ashamed to say I didn’t know Richard’s work and my folks came from Manchester (Mum knew Hulme very well but left that part pop the world when but a young man to bring her new family south

Love this profile 💙🐝

Elle Cordova (with Toni Lindgren) cover Bob : You’re Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go

 Route reminded me of this lass Elle Cordova and her pal Toni Lindgren

Elle says: ""The most underrated Bob Dylan tune, in my opinion. And oops! Accidentally pulled it into horror territory for a second there with my lyric swap "crimson smile across your face." Terrifying! Haha. Hope you guys enjoy the song! We do a song this every full moon on the Elle & Toni YouTube channel. And that's Toni Lindgren there on the folksy guitar licks!"

GUESS I’M DUMB - a statement

 It isn’t every day that the music blogs cover politics. Friends out in the blogosphere let me know often what their persuasions and beliefs are but this was the latest post from the brilliant Guess I’m Dumb earlier on . . . . .just this

I found it worth sharing here . . . . . . 

 . . . . . as somewhat obviously (I hope) I AGREE!
