Humphrey Bogart, having a smoke
Anna Stern, having a smoke, 1934
Grandma and Grandson in a photobooth
This Grandma couldn’t even put down the cigarette for a photo! Not a picture of me and my grandmother (this looks pretty old, I’m not that old). But it reminds me of my grandmother – she smoked till she was 70 years old and then said to me that “I’m 70 years old now, Matthew, I suppose I should quit smoking before it affects my health”. She did quit. She lived to be 94.
My Grandmother’s Buick
Not your Grandma’s Buick (the 1965 Buick Riviera)
Polaroids of Priscilla Presley riding around
The Marvelettes
The Supremes
Patti Labelle – Somewhere Over the Rainbow (1991)
I know Judy Garland’s version is the classic one but, um, Patti’s version is the best. Somewhere in that crowd is my brother, he went to that concert. I saw her three times in concert though not at this concert.
