Hi to all my fellow Barbara Manning fans out there!
December 2004
Time for an update!
I have put some new photos online, they're from the Go-Luckys! show in Frankfurt, Germany, on Dec. 28, 2004!
You'll find them here (or, of course, under 'Concert pics'). Enjoy!
As for my Flash animations - I have a faster PC now, and I know that they're out of sync on most newer machines. I'll try
to do something about that asap. If ever I find the time... *sigh*
September 2001
Since I saw Barbara with the Go-Luckys! in NYC and Hoboken, NJ, at the beginning of August, I haven't been able to get a lot of her songs
out of my head; especially Our Son stuck with me for days on end. The idea for what you will find here was born a day or two after the
second show I saw. It kept growing - and is still growing...
All these Flash movies contain excerpts from some of the songs in Barbara's song cycle Arsonist Story
(words & music by Barbara Manning), which can be found on her 1997 album 1212 (recorded with Calexico). I had originally
planned to make this just one movie, but it got way too big when I was only in the middle of the second song, so I split it up into bits.
Please note that loading these movies online can take a while, so try and be patient! The second time around (you open the Flash menu by
clicking on the film with the right mouse button and can restart the movie from there) it should work without any hangups.
Exact synchronicity between the music and the movie, however, is only guaranteed with a system that has 64 MB RAM and 466 KHz (no more and no less) - sorry!
Hope you enjoy what I've created inspired by Barbara's incredible music!
