Cruising nighttime byways for an adrenaline fix; Scot Sothern first patronized the marketplace of curbside prostitution surfing the prurient whims of a young man. He dove to the murky depths of sexual obsession and resurfaced five years later; shell-shocked and without excuse. While there; trusty Nikon in hand; Scot; a second-generation photographer; made full-frontal X-rated exposures; black and white; filled with pathos and an uncanny realism. The pictures captured the plight of the disenfranchised in America; those forgotten and drug-addicted. Now he is ready to tell the story behind the photographs; the confessions of a befuddled baby-boomer maintaining a slippery connection to propriety while side-tripping into noirish infatuations with those low in life. Curb Service recounts Sothernrsquo;s past as a troubled kid in the 1960s who visited two-dollar whorehouses and as an adult in the 1980s is still at it. A photographer who either canrsquo;t get a break or blows it when one comes his way; Scot wants to hold onto jobs; wives; and relationships; he tries to be a good father to the son he loves. Yet he continues picking up street prostitutes; photographing them; having sex with them; living moments of their lives and watching them fade away in a culture that deems them criminal and expendable. It was only a few years ago that Scotrsquo;s photography started to receive notice – by influential Drkrm Gallery in Los Angeles – which led to the publication of Lowlife; a photo book; by Stanley Barker in the UK and soon by powerhouse in Brooklyn. His work has since been exhibited world-wide including shows in London; Los Angeles; and Ottawa.

Good supplement to practicing on your ownBy bcjNorthwestI found this to be a fun; productive way of practicing moving between basic chords and using strumming patterns. The background tracks are more inspiring than a metronome and I actually felt like I was playing music. I would have rated this higher except the melody lines are played with a fairly unpleasant (to my ear) saxophone lead. I would have liked it if this voice was on one side only so you could adjust the speaker balance to silence the lead. As far as the strumming patterns not being indicated with each tune; by listening to the rhythm track; you can hear the strumming pattern used and copy that or just 1) go with what you are capable of playing or 2) go with what you feel like playing. Its a good opportunity to experiment with various patterns.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.

Easy rythms; difficult working out the strummingBy seacute;rgio osborne moreira alvesI already own one of the easy pop melodies from the same editor; so I thought about starting in rythms. This book/cd is a great resource to learn; but unfortunately it does not give a hint on how to strumm the chords; though it indicates the most commom strumming patterns in the last pages. For begginers it is rather difficult to strumm in the correct rythm; so I think it should be a good thing to indicate the best strumming patterns in each song; and some alternatives if possible. That is the only reason it will not get a five star; for the quality in general is exceptional; very good playlist; the CD is great for accompaniment and the size of the letters/song notation is perfect for short distances for reading. Halleonard though in almost every detail when the build up this suplementary material and I congrat them for that.
