I've been around here since the beginning, but have only posted seven times. Six have been promoted to the main feed, which is a pretty good batting average. I'm here to tell you about a new venture I've undertaken, telling the history of America through the medium of newspapers. The plan is to post one monthly show, commencing in January 1925 and continuing thereafter. Additionally, there will be three shows a month on specific topics of interest from any time prior to 1925.
To date, I've got twelve shows in the can and have posted the three below. These are the monthly shows from February and March 1925, along with a fun episode on the life of America's premier confidence man, Charles Gondorf. I can't tell you how much fun it is preparing and recording these little YouTube adventures with my daughter Olivia, my editor.
I plan on doing this indefinitely, regardless of how few people watch, as I've got the filming venue, wardrobe and curiosity necessary to put out a pretty interesting product. So have a look and let me know what you think, and remember all history begins as news.

This sounds like an interesting project. I'll have to watch the videos after work.

Definitely sartorial and studio style.

Sounds like fun.

Starting at the end with the intention of working backward to the beginning, a question arises: Do you have a special connection with Sullivan, Indiana? Did you know that the highway cops there are sneaky? (I've been through the county a few times on my way to Vincennes.)

...and sartorial splendor!
