If I'm not there, I know I'm not dead

The Burns Supper tonight was also a sing for Pete Seeger. Roger Gordy must have taken these pictures of me and [livejournal.com profile] derspatchel in a moment of listening, rather than singing.





I came home and fell into lung-wracking coughing from the cold between [livejournal.com profile] teenybuffalo's car and our living room, but I was very glad I had not had to be silent. I sang "Kisses Sweeter Than Wine" with my arm around Rob. I wasn't going to sing it from the other side of a room.

You guys seem to have stepped out of the 1930s or 1940s and into the now.

You two were beautiful together. And you sang astonishingly well for Camille.

At first glance I thought I was looking at a still from a movie of the 1930s or 40s.

What amazing photos - as everyone else is saying, the two of you were clearly *meant* to be photographed in black and white.

And while I'm usually purist about the date of Burns Night, I'm glad the delay allowed you to sing for Pete Seeger.

- and now I'm wondering whether he ever sang any Burns? I'm thinking A Man's a Man, for a' that, but the internet is offering me Ewan MacColl and Peggy Seeger, rather than Pete.

I am hoping to sing some Pete Seger at Boskone at the very least. I'm glad you were able to sing some sooner.

While I am glad they don't make lung salve, I am nonetheless desirous of sending you some, because ow.

Lovely pix. Sorry to have missed the sing myself; sometimes a busy life requires quiet at home. I'm glad voices and glasses were raised in Pete's honor...
