  I walked down Broadway past a string of bars open early Friday
  afternoon. Four of the clubs had live bands playing Merle Haggard
  covers. Three of them were performing “Mama Tried”. Sandwiched among
  faux, Nash Vegas honkytonks and urban cowboy outfitters; in a narrow
  downtown Nashville building was Hatch Show Print, a letterpress shop
  that had been in business since 1879.
  
  The first ten feet deep inside was devoted to selling broadsides,
  monoprints, restrikes and postcards. Tourists flipped through bins of
  surplus commemorative concert posters searching for prints of their
  favorite stars. On the other side of a counter that divided the
  storefront from the rest of the building were a dozen folks dedicated to
  using hand carved imagery and hundred-year-old wooden letters to design
  and print posters. This felt much different than staring past the menu
  into the kitchen at a Burger King.

  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.”

    I walked down Broadway past a string of bars open early Friday
    afternoon. Four of the clubs had live bands playing Merle Haggard
    covers. Three of them were performing “Mama Tried”. Sandwiched among
    faux, Nash Vegas honkytonks and urban cowboy outfitters; in a narrow
    downtown Nashville building was Hatch Show Print, a letterpress shop
    that had been in business since 1879.
    
    The first ten feet deep inside was devoted to selling broadsides,
    monoprints, restrikes and postcards. Tourists flipped through bins of
    surplus commemorative concert posters searching for prints of their
    favorite stars. On the other side of a counter that divided the
    storefront from the rest of the building were a dozen folks dedicated to
    using hand carved imagery and hundred-year-old wooden letters to design
    and print posters. This felt much different than staring past the menu
    into the kitchen at a Burger King.
    
    A tattooed woman with Betty Page bangs stood near the register
    rolling a print into a shipping tube. I asked her, “How do I get onto
    your side of the counter? I want to make posters, not buy them.”
    
    She picked up a pencil, “The manager isn’t in today. Mail him a
    letter with some examples of your work. We’ve had artists come work with
    us anywhere from a weekend to six months.” She handed me a
    letterpressed business card with the name Jim Sherraden written on the
    back.
    That next summer I
    was an intern at Hatch. Jim Sherraden was on vacation during my first
    week but he called the shop periodically to check on things and say it
    was ok for the production manager to buy ice cream for everyone. I
    learned my way around the shop by reprinting posters of Porter Wagoner, a
    country musician who had a television show in the late sixties and is
    remembered for hiring a young woman named Dolly Parton to sing duets
    with him on TV. The next poster I reprinted was for Dolly’s 1974 concert
    appearance in Spartanburg, South Carolina. I was slowly reliving
    country music history one print job at a time.
    
    A large cat named Huey lived at Hatch to control the rodent
    population and another cat named Maow was there to keep Huey company.
    The shop’s walls were covered with band posters and insider’s jokes
    about letterpress printing. A small container up front near the register
    was labeled
    Ye Stupid Questions Box, which contained quotes from visitors like, “Do y’all make the big checks they award contestants on The Price Is Right?”
    
    On Memorial Day all the interns were given tickets to go visit The
    Country Music Hall of Fame. There was an exhibit focusing on Ray
    Charles’ country & western period. The most interesting artifact was
    Charles’ brail edition of Playboy, which must have been topographic. It was as thick as the Atlanta phonebook.
    
    After leaving the Hall of Fame I walked past the record stores and
    souvenir shops back towards Hatch. Trucks on steroids cruised lower
    Broadway. The sidewalks were packed with music fans that had descended
    upon Nashville hoping to meet their favorite country singers at the
    annual CMA Music Festival.
    
    Inside Hatch a mom was leafing through the poster bins as her
    teenage daughter gazed around. “Baby, would you like this poster?”
    The daughter responded, “Does it say ‘Badonkadonk’ on it?”
    “No, baby. It doesn’t.”
    “Then I don’t want it.”

    The Dave Rawlings Machine tintypes were made in the summer of 2014 at a mutual friend’s house outside of Nashville.
    A
    year later, 2015, Gillian contacted me about using one of those images
    for the Nashville Obsolete cover and had me return to Nashville to make a
    tintype for the back cover, which is of Dave standing by his guitar.
    The
    original tintype is 7.5 x 9.25”. I can make you an archival pigment
    print reproduction of the field image with JPJ at its original size for
    $100.00 plus whatever it cost to mail a stiff, flat envelope to your
    address across the ocean.
    If
    this works for you, send you address to me and I will calculate the
    shipping costs and can get you a total to pay via a PayPal gift.
    Below is what I wrote for a collection of short stories. This one leads up to the making of the DRM tintype.
    Thanks for your interest in my work and your support of Gillian and David. They are great people.
