Pinboard #14 (Saturday 1st January 2022)

Vintage Tea Towel #1

Having now gone through all the art doodle books and posted everything I considered worth sharing, I have started an exciting new series of tatty old tea towels. I unearthed a pile of them in a forgotten drawer and intend to work through them from top to bottom, picking out the best. This one was at the top.

I have used the pinboard that the badges came from that had faded in the conservatory, just to show how much damage the light also did to the felt. I took this outdoors to get a reasonable shutter speed.

I still have lots of 7" picture sleeves that I haven't posted yet, and a massive selection of vintage and more recent picture postcards for a future series. I may never need to go out again.

Actually I was out and about in a number of locations on New Year's Eve but it was a dull and dismal day and I was never tempted to take a picture just for the sake of it.

Lozarhythm Of The Day:
George Harrison - Ding Dong, Ding Dong (1974)
A New Year song, as played on Radcliffe & Maconie. A single originally from Dark Horse.
"Harrison took the lyrics to "Ding Dong" from engravings he found at his nineteenth-century home, Friar Park, in Oxfordshire – a legacy of its eccentric founder, Frank Crisp. The song's "Ring out the old, ring in the new" refrain has invited interpretation as Harrison distancing himself from his past as a member of the Beatles, and as the singer farewelling his first marriage, to Pattie Boyd. As on much of the Dark Horse album, Harrison's vocals on the recording were hampered by a throat condition, due partly to his having overextended himself on business projects such as his recently launched record label, Dark Horse Records. Recorded at his Friar Park studio, the track includes musical contributions from Tom Scott, Ringo Starr, Alvin Lee, Ron Wood and Jim Keltner." - Wikipedia
