Arthur Godfrey Shot By Stanley Kubrick

If you go to the Museum of the City of New York site and search on "ukulele", you'll find 14 pix of Arthur Godfrey playing his uke, including some shots from a live radio broadcast. All shot by Stanley Kubrick. Note the pilot's wings on Godfrey's lapel. He was also an aviation nut. Link

Arthur Godfrey shot by Stanley Kubrik. Go figure. This is also neat... When i typed in ukelele (alternative spelling) i got a photograph of The NY Association for the blind playing ukuleles. http://collections.mcny.org/MCNY/C.aspx?VP3=SearchResult_VPage&VBID=24UP1GTUJ6BQ&SMLS=1&RW=1357&RH=815

Kubrick also shot a bunch of photos of the Ringling show in winter quarters that are on the site. What a treasure trove!

Thanks all.

And what about Miss Crump at the Crumperie?

Well, if Mr. Crump don't like it, we ain't gonna have it here.
