Samm Bennett says: This early drum kit typically features
the standard (at the time) small Chinese
tack-head toms, but having three of
them, as here, was, I believe, a bit
unusual. And the large Chinese drum,
that's the first time I've seen one as
large as that in a drum kit.. Note also
that both of his large cymbals are
China-types, and both have rivets,
making them "sizzle" cymbals.
And finally, note that he has a
washboard mounted on the bass drum. Very
cool kit, all in all, and b y the looks
of him, he was cooking on it!
Samm Bennett says: Love the intimacy of this shot.
Samm Bennett says: This was when NYC was great.
Samm Bennett says: Must've been a helluva party...
Samm Bennett says: Check out that drum throne! And aren't
drum kits without tom toms the coolest?
Trumpeter's chilling.

Samm Bennett says: Sure would love to see film footage of
this scene.
Samm Bennett says: Play us a little tune, lads!
Samm Bennett says: In his Sunday finest, strumming on the
old banjo.
Samm Bennett says: Making music out of what's at hand. Love
how Tim printed this as a sepia-type,
too: although it's contemporary, it fits
right into this gallery!
Samm Bennett says: I've got a great fondness for diddley
bows.
Samm Bennett says: um...
Samm Bennett says: A dapper bunch!
Samm Bennett says: Amazing axe, and these two are quite the
odd couple.
Samm Bennett says: Amazing hand-carved guitars.

Hey Samm, I'm honored that you included my work in such a beautiful collection as this. I especially love the blind street musician and how he connects with my picture. While in Chicago I came across several but none compared to this young man. A family with two children in the 5-6 year old range came along and he gave them his sticks to drum away... and they did. The interaction was great. Chicago is my favorite big city.

These photos are a treat for the eyes, for sure, but what I really want is to catch the sounds goin' down here!
Say, I hope you won't think I'm spammin' if I mention that I just put togethera black-n-white gallery of my own, of collage pieces...

wouldn't these images make young people want to be "celebs". These show how hard the work and life really is for most musicians regardless of where they live. Love it
