Photos/Videos

The old-style barbershop with its artifacts and old-style atmosphere as well as
the motley cast of musicians at the Saturday jams have been irresistable subjects for anyone with a camera. On this page, we share a sampling of pictures and videos made by visitors to the Barbershop, including the work of several professional photographers and videographers who have documented the Barbershop for various projects. Other photographs are of performances
of the Archie’s Barbershop Jambassadors and special events such as
concerts and workshops.

	July 2008 Blues and Swing Week Blues and Swing Week at Davis and Elkins College in West Virginia. About 30 folks connected with the Archie Edwards Blues Heritage Foundation were in attendance. Eleanor Ellis and Ian Walters were on staff. Most of the rest of us took classes and jammed -- sometimes until dawn. [Thanks to Willie Leebel for some of the pix]
	May and June 2008 AFRH Concerts and June Performance at FSGW Rick Franklin and His Delta Blues Boys performed at the Armed Forces Retirement Home home in May. They play Hokum blues at its best. Jammers from the barbershop spent a lot of time in the picnic area jamming and then later performed on one of the stages. In June, The Social Ramble made its debut performance at the AFRH, with Maureen Andary adding pizzazz for the final tunes. The Ramblers met at Barbershop jams.

	January 26, 2008Last Jam at the Barbershop 2007 Bunker Hill Rd, N.W. Washington DC 20018 Last jam at the Alphas Tonsorial Parlor at 2007 Bunker hill road. About a hundred folks dropped in to play some tunes, listen, visit, spill beer, and say good-by. Fifty years of music history is now packed in storage. However, the foundation remains committed to Archie's tradition of sharing the music and encouraging all players. The spirit you see in the pictures will spill out into other corners of D.C. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . If you have high res. pix of the last jam and don't mind me picking through and doing some editing, I would like to get them and include them in this gallery.

The following Saturday, December 15, we held a holiday party at the shop. The barbershop has been sold out from under us, but we are going kicking and screaming and singing the blues. Good music with good friends. Saturday, December 22, was a smaller jam. A few of us ended up staying past 7. Dru, who had not been to the shop since Archie died, and David ripped into a lot of slide stuff at the end. Paul Kennedy organized a final photo shoot and then packing. You can see a partly stripped barbershop in the December 29 jam pix.
