Bread Butter Cutlery Eats Legged Lyrics Meal Notation Sheet Song Stool Supper Tommy Tucker Musical
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of a humble yet determined performance by country singer Tommy Tucker, also known as 'Little Tom,' as he sings for his supper in 1931. Seated on a simple wooden stool, Tucker focuses intently on the sheet music before him, his expression a mix of concentration and determination. The music, penned by Tucker himself, is written out in intricate musical notation, the lines and clefs forming a labyrinth of melody and rhythm. A loaf of bread and a pat of butter sit on the rickety table before him, the promise of a meager meal to come. A plate and cutlery lie nearby, waiting to be used once the song is finished. The atmosphere is one of stark simplicity, with the bare walls and worn floorboards adding to the sense of authenticity. The lyrics of the song, lost to time, remain a mystery, but the image of Tucker's earnest expression and the basic necessities laid out before him speak volumes about the struggles and triumphs of a traveling musician. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices and resilience required to follow one's passion, even in the face of hardship and uncertainty.
