"Weep not, my friends"... what an antidote for hard times. Sorry for your loss, Sam.

Many years ago I got David Thomas Broughton to play at an art gallery. He’d just put out that album that melted my mind. Tour was with Doveman, and Sam was in his band. We picked up the PA together, borrowed from Ducktails/future Real Estate guy. Sam was so nice and wearing a huge cowboy hat.

Boston, 1917

Saw The History of Sound today, a queer romance set right around WWI and the years that follow. Gorgeous sound and music and some really breathtaking cinematography. When I saw this moment on screen I knew I was coming home to draw it. Tender and moving. Bring tissues.

Illustration based on a still from the film The History of Sound.

Boston 1917: Lionel and David lounging in David’s apartment bathed in early morning light. David is sitting in a wooden chair smoking a cigarette, feet propped on the window sill where Lionel rests his head. Lionel is sat on the floor with a cup of coffee, leaning against the fireplace and looking up adoringly at David.

I think about this 50 year old Martin Carthy recording all the time.

Sounds about time to tap in on his new LP.
