The songs on this CD were inspired by "Unseen America, The Voices of Low Wage Earners", an exhibit promoting 1st person photos and stories of people who are frequently overlooked. The black and white photos in this CD folder were taken by homeless day laborers in Tucson, AZ. These photos and their stories can be found in "People Around Us," published by Southwest Center for Economic Integrity, Tucson, AZ www.economicintegrity.org Take a picture of me to show I was here And stood beneath these skies Sunlight shining on my face Made me squint my eyes Take a picture of me at seventeen Beside the neighbor boy In my sister’s wedding dress Face so full of joy Who knows how far I’m going Who knows how long I’ll stay Trace these lines upon my face Before I go away Music from a phonograph Bought with cash in hand Played while Mama dance and sang Before we lost the land Records from a phonograph in boxes on the lawn Mama's bank can have it all Tonight I’m moving on Who knows how far I’m going Who knows how long I’ll stay Trace these lines upon my face Before I go away Take a picture of me to show I was here -words and music by Nancy McCallion Complete CD lyrics available for download at www.nancymccallionlyrics.com Nancy McCallion: vocals, guitar, harmonica Danny Krieger: guitar, slide guitar, baritone guitar, backing vocals Steve Grams: electric and upright bass, backing vocals Ralph Gilmore: drums, percussion Tom Rhodes: violin, mandolin Kevin Schramm: accordion Catherine Zavala: backing vocals Duncan Stitt: organ Danny "Professor Lawn Chair" Krieger: piano Earl Edmonson: backing vocals, harmonica on "It's Never too Late..."
