Adelaide Springett was so ashamed of her tattered boots, she took them off for this 1901 photograph.
She was 8 years old and recorded as lodging with her mother at the Salvation Army Shelter in Hanbury St.

Had a fun night out to catch an excellent local big band here in Maine. The Portland Jazz Orchestra is awesome!

Too bad that corporate media won't have it at the top of the front page.

This is a busy time of year for musicians. Even amateurs like me. My jazz big band has a show Saturday and my concert band has our annual Holiday concert on Sunday. Then I will be done for the year.
