Photos that touch your heart....

[PoohBang]

Quite a few thread here are not vintage...

I've seen threads removed though also, because someone felt the content was not retro enough for them.

@PoohBang Say, that's Woody in your avatar image, right? An aged and sick Woody but still The Man.

Just listening to the Dust Bowl Ballads as I type this...

Aw, shucks, don't mind me. I was just in a grumpy mood that day.

When they moved servers a few years ago, there was a decision made to try and rein in the Observation Bar area to what was apparently the original intent - a sort of generic catch-all for discussion of things of interest to the vintage community that don't fit elsewhere but still bear some semblance of having a connection to the sites' overall area of interest. It varies, but most of what I've noticed disappearing had no discernable vintage connection at all, whereas a thread like this could go either way. [huh]

Indeed. Met his daughter Nora Lee backstage a couple of years ago at a festival when Vanaver Caravan were playing there...

I agree. Most of the stuff in here has no vintage-ness to it at all.

and many of non-observation threads also have no vintage-ness to them at all.

and Mario... that's awesome you got to meet his daughter.

Not a photo, but a sketch made by WW2 combat artist Howard Brodie. Gets me every time. It's called "Compassion."

Here is what he said about it: "I remember the young soldier well, he screamed, he was just out of control, and he screamed, and there was another soldier next to him who consoled him, and embraced him. That was a moving moment for me, to see that compassion in combat. And these are the things a person feels when he's in proximity to death-- his buddy, that next human being, that person in the foxhole is the most important person in your life."

I think that same set had a man crying and playing an accordion. That one always got me.

Those old photos with animals certainly tug at the heartstrings. This Chaplin one is great.
Here is a good one.
