March 16 has become a pretty legendary date around here !
On this day in 1999 , I got my first call to photograph Bob Dylan . Later that same afternoon , the phone rang again and I got my first offer to photograph Bruce Springsteen . Come on !! Fast forward a couple years and I received a call to photograph Tom Petty , and my Johnny Cash Solitary Man Album Cover as well as Willie Nelson’s Milk Cow Blues Cover came out around March 16 .
And on a more personal note , today also marks 59 years since Maria’s parents immigrated to the United States from Cuba — something worth celebrating all on its own !
March 16 … it just keeps showing up . Let’s see what it brings this year ! I’ll have my ringer on ✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼
You can purchase these photos and more online and in person at @Transparent_AP ⭐️

Train journeys make a good framing device for 60s British Cinema (& British decline):
1959 - Room at the Top, Lampton embraces class social mobility
1963 - Billy Liar, Julie Christie goes to swinging London alone
1971 - Get Carter, Carter's doomed return to the depressed North
Train Songs Central@trainsongsbook
"Is there a Mr Carter in the room?" On this day in 1971 the film 'Get Carter' (featuring the best train song instrumental of all time in the form of 'Main Theme - Carter Takes A Train' by Roy Budd) went on general release in the UK.

Alderley Edge School for Girls in my constituency has announced its closure blaming increased costs - fundamentally Labour’s VAT on school fees.
Here I am asking what the government is going to do to minimise the disruption to these pupils’ education as this school closure is due to their vindictive, class warfare policies.
