People always ask me, "Why do you give scarves to Keith?" and "Where do you get the scarves that you give to Keith?". So many people have asked that I decided to create a separate page to explain the idea behind the skull scarves.


In the summer of 1997 I bought a black scarf with white skulls on it at a local "world" store (now out of business) called Macondo. I bought the scarf because I thought it was cool and it reminded me of Keith. I wore that scarf to my first show on the Bridges To Babylon Tour in September of 1997 in Columbus, Ohio. I had no intention of giving it to Keith until a security guard broke my camera for taking pictures of Keith. I was so angry, but determined not to let the broken camera ruin my first show of the 97-98 Tour. Then it dawned on me that since the "Bridge" was not yet built, the Stones would be walking right by me on the catwalk. I was 20th row last seat next to the catwalk. This was the closest I had ever been be to the Stones. Maybe I could give Keith this scarf? Not bloody likely as they say, but worth a try.

nellie lutcher - lake charles boogie - this 1952 dittie features ms lutchers rippin good stride piano styin'. this is texas/lousiana swamp roots-rock at its best melding jazz, blues, boogie woogie rock and roll and that velvety thing that only rubs off from hangin' with the king cole trio.

This dedication peaks in Mr. Belott's "Found Images," a DVD presentation of 1,000 snapshots that Mr. Belott retrieved from eBay or the Salvation Army. As fragments of scores of anonymous lives flash before your eyes, you may consider pledging to never pick up the camera again, however great the urge. ROBERTA SMITH

the shelf pieces displayed in the slideshow indicate a rather indiscriminate process in choosing a theme for the photo groupings. bad snapshots arnt interesting or fun. there are on average 35,000 photographic offerings up for grabs on ebay at any given minute day in day out for years now. its easy to buy junk in bulk. the challenge is finding lots of the good stuff before they're broken up for piecemeal sales.
