Mother's 45s
As you view - left to right (scroll horizontally) - these photo/record assemblages: the
maturation process of Chambers' mother is seen; the man who came into her life and
eventually became her husband and his father is seen; the maturation process of her only child
(him) is seen; the change in hair and fashion styles is seen; the change in automobile models is
seen; and various locales throughout the United States are seen. Note: click on images to view
larger versions, then click on players to listen to snippets from the songs/music recorded
directly from his mother's records.
