a kids’ band c1980 – photo is too new to be a collectible
Toronto. As a kid at the movies, Merrie Melodies meant a cartoon short from Warner Bros. This brought to mind another subset of photos for collectors – a section on music.
In November, 2003, we had a talk by a friend of Larry Boccioletti – the late Paul Hoeffler. Paul was a photographer of jazz musicians, and an SPBQ singer with Larry.
While his photos date back to mid last century, they are also a bit too recent for collectors. They do bring to mind a ‘musical’ sub-category for old photos. Paul was a graduate of the college at Rochester. He knew many musicians performing across the lake, sometimes offering them a ride home after a long night (eg. Billie Holiday).
Another photographer of symphonies is member Wayne Gilbert, whose photographs are far too recent for consideration by collectors in spite of their charm.
But it is never too soon to begin collecting ‘future’ collectibles …
