So here's another chance in NYC. <br /><br />And if you're in the mood for things old-timey and western, there's a pretty cool <b><a href="http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2008/04/20/arts/20080420_COWBOY_FEATURE.html" target="_blank">slide show on the NY Times website</a></b> about modern cowboys. They are photographed (with the same technique as the original era of the Great West) and get a chance to talk a bit.<br /><br />:::<br /><br /><b><a href="http://www.justseeds.org/blog/2008/05/bill_daniels_mostly_true_book_1.html" target="_blank">Bill Daniel's "Mostly True" Book Release and Film Screening</a></b><br /><br />Tuesday, May 6, 7:30 PM<br />Maysles Cinema<br />347 Lenox Ave./MLK Blvd. between 127th &128th st.<br /><br />Bill Daniel will be releasing his brand new book Mostly True, a collection of enigmatic railroad folklore and screening his freight hopping movie Who is Bozo Texino? as well as a grab bag of train subculture shorts.<br /><br />Many of you may know and love Bill Daniel's amazing film Who Is Bozo Texino?, which chronicles the search for the source of a ubiquitous and mythic rail graffiti sketch of a character with an infinity-shaped hat and the scrawled moniker, "Bozo Texino"- a drawing seen on railcars for 80 years. The film was shot over a period of 20 years and features interviews with hobo graffiti legends Colossus of the Roads, The Rambler, Herby (RIP) and others.<br /><br />Mostly True is the book companion to Who is Bozo Texino? Styled like a 1930's pulp magazine, the book is an enigmatic compilation of railroad ephemera, a ticket for time travel back to the roots of American rail folklore. The book is a direct product of 25 years of asystematically collecting any scrap of material relating to the ideas of tramping trains, hobo life, and depression-era culture and graffiti (with a small g). <br /><br />:::<br /><br /><IMG SRC="http://suckapants.com/divider.gif" WIDTH="600" HEIGHT="2" BORDER="0"><br /><br /><b>MP3:</b><br /><br />Here are two versions of a traditional song, "When I Was A Young Girl."
