    Nashville story.
    Frank Hamrick

    In 2013 I bought a used 8x10” large format view camera while traveling
    during the summer and had it shipped to Jim Sherraden's house. Jim liked
    the tintype’s character and proposed making tintypes of musicians at
    Hatch Show Print. He believed folks would sit for a unique portrait made
    using an archaic process in an authentic setting. I told Jim I was
    interested and the first musicians I wanted to have sit for the series
    was Gillian Welch and her partner, Dave Rawlings.

    That next year a new version of the Dave Rawlings Machine was
    assembled, which featured both Dave and Gillian, along with former Old
    Crow Medicine Show multi-instrumentalist Willie Watson, Punch Brothers
    standup bassist Paul Kowert, and on mandolin and fiddle, John Paul Jones
    from Led Zeppelin.
    A
    string of dates was booked with the tour ending Friday night at the
    Ryman Auditorium in Nashville. I wrote to Jim, who in turn had my letter
    forwarded to Gillian and Dave’s record label. Time passed without any
    response. More tour dates were added to the itinerary including a
    Saturday night show on the outskirts of town at the Grand Ole Opry.

    Friday, the day of the first Nashville show, the record label called
    Jim. His contact there had just returned from vacation and was now
    responding to his letter. Gillian and Dave loved the idea and wanted a
    tintype of the whole band. They had an hour and a half window of time
    Saturday evening before the Opry appearance.

    Due to the tintype’s long exposure time, it was decided the portrait
    would be made outside in Jim’s backyard rather than inside at Hatch. The
    band arrived already wearing their stage clothes. It became evident why
    they were interested in sitting for a tintype when Gillian said she
    studied photography in college and Dave made photographs with his Leica
    while I explained the wet plate process to everyone so they would know
    what to expect.
    The
    band was positioned under a large oak tree. Gillian and Dave sat up
    front while the rest of the band stood behind them with John Paul, the
    patriarch, in the center. Each tintype was sensitized, exposed and
    developed one at a time. Between shots the band ate BBQ in the driveway
    while Dave and John Paul played Neil Young’s “Last Trip To Tulsa”.
    Exposure times crept from six to eight seconds as the sun fell behind
    the trees. The band posed out in Jim’s field for a final ten-second
    exposure before heading to sound check.

    That night while driving into town for ice cream, we listened to the
    band’s Grand Ole Opry performance live on WSM AM radio.

    Two days later I was back in Louisiana making a tintype of Andy, one of
    my former graduate students. I showed Andy the final tintype from the
    Dave Rawlings session, “You may not recognize him but this guy in the
    middle is John Paul Jones.”
    Andy studied the image, “The name sounds familiar.”
    “Maybe you’ve heard of Led Zeppelin.”

    Andy, who once played drums in a punk band, looked into the distance,
    “I’ve only heard one Led Zeppelin song and it’s the one where they sing
    ‘We don’t need no education’, which shows just how much they need
    education because that’s a double negative.”
    “Andy, that’s Pink Floyd.”
    “Well, then I guess I only know one Pink Floyd song.”

Been hurt, getting down, word getting round Love that sound, come from the guitar town Guitar!

Oh hear the band, oh clap your hands Go tell your friends here comes the guitar man Guitar!

    in the topic A Gillian Welch Biography in the forum News and Announcements

    Every now and again I can't shake the feeling that Gillian's biological mother is Vicki Lawrence who worked on the Carol Burnett Show in '67. As Gill was born in '67 that seems far fetched, but then I look at the resemblance and start putting together tiny shreds of coincidences. Gill's middle name is Howard, Vicki's father's name, that she was also known as Miss Fireball when Burnett met her aged 17, appearing on Burnett's show in '67, when both the host and Lawrence were both seen to be wearing big maternity dresses. My theory doesn't hold water tho as the first show Lawrence appeared in was Sept '67 and Gill was born October that year.
