Tribute to Clarence is a another splendid collaboration between the great American Photographer and Author, Marilyn Armstrong and swo8 Blues Jazz. The wonderful photos are Marilyn’s contribution combined with swo8’s music.
Father’s Day may be over for this year but it really is a full time job. Clarence was my father and he played the organ. The organ is an amazingly good instrument for jazz. His two loves in life were his organ and his dogs. Happy belated Father’s day to all the fathers out there. 3:06 min. 2 MB
Very nicely done. A wonderful tribute, so up beat! 🙂

Very cool. Your father had a lot of dogs in his life – obviously a good man! Truly jazzy organ-playing!

He had his vices too. He wasn’t much of a father.

JoAnn, he loved his dogs more than his kids. (but he sure could play the organ)

It must have been hard on you. Do you think it did anything to bring out your soulful art?

I wasn’t the target because I was a girl, it was my brother. But I didn’t like what I saw.

No, you wouldn’t. Hard to witness the abuse of a sibling.

He was older and I could see the abuse even though I was that much younger.

Abuse makes everyone in a family feel sad and insecure. And I think similar dynamics play out at a national level. No wonder you’re involved in activism as an adult.
