Janis Joplin
I saw Janis Joplin just once, October 1966 in Golden Gate Park. She was with Big Brother on the back of a flatbed truck. Bullied as a child she expressed her pain in her music. A tragic character. Here are my photos from that day so long ago.
Meet our Craftsmen
We are in the midst of a front-porch remodel. Our contractor, Mediterraneo, brings very competent subs. I love watching these men work. I’ve been fortunate to get to know some of them. So, of course, I had to interview them about their work.
In this video you will hear from the contractor, Mark Brunner, followed by the cement truck driver, the cement contractor, the portable toilet cleaner, the electrician, and the wood framer. At the end, I included some clips of a knife sharpener from ACE Hardware in Redwood City.
I love hearing answers to questions like, “What do you like most about this job?” The toilet cleaner said, “Well, it’s not for everyone.”
great interviews, rick…the essences of hands on, blue collar, work… intentions, pride….well done!
The photo revive that sense of the time in me. Thank you!
Rick, these interviews and audio wonderful. Thank you. I can see how the craftsmen light up when you talk with them.
Wow it is fun to see this job in process. And all those guys you interviewed ar so likeable.
Great old photos of Janis too!
