Take Me To The Water:
Immersion Baptism In Vintage Music
Dust To Digital
Dust To Digital Recordings
By James Calemine
Dust To Digital’s latest release, a handsome book called Take Me to the Water: Immersion Baptism In Vintage Music and Photography 1890-1950, continues the prestigious legacy of this singular label. Lance Ledbetter’s Dust To Digital won a Grammy this year for Art of Field Recording Volume 1. Dust To Digital’s other indelible releases include Goodbye, Babylon, Fonotone Records, Anthology of the String Bass, Art of Field Recording Volume 2, Desperate Man Blues, Where Will You Be On Christmas Day? and I Belong To This Band.
These amazing photos document mass congregations being baptized. The sepia photographs preserve the ceremony and spirit of the outing. The photographs are from the Jim Linderman Collection. In the book’s introduction Linderman wrote: “I believe there is an undefined but present relationship between the visual and aural in many art forms. Artists often work harder when depicting spiritual themes and musicians in the service of the Lord often turn in the best performances. Were the photographers “on the clock” when they took these pictures, or did they too feel the beauty and passion being down before their eyes? Did the performers recorded here reach for a higher standard when they played their gospel songs? I would like to think so. It would help explain the spiritually charged, emotional and powerful results.”
A 25-song and sermon CD accompanies this book complete with dates of recordings as well as participating musicians in the baptism process. Images in these photographs reveal black and white country preachers baptizing entire congregations with scenes of people standing by the riverside waiting to be saved. Some of the photos illustrate people being submerged in water where the banks are frozen, quagmires by railroad tracks, dirty rivers, shallow swamps and serene estuaries.
The music that accompanies this book is unforgettable. Like all Dust To Digital releases, each song and sermon is documented, including stories and baptism circumstances that can be found in the back of the book. The message is clear…spirituality in its purest form. Each song weighs heavy on the soul, but this writer’s favorites include Washington Phillps’ “Denomination Blues”, The Carter Family’s “On My Way to Canaan’s Land”, Rev. Massey’s “Old Time Baptism”, Southern Wonders Quartet’s “Go Wash In the Beautiful Stream”, the sermon of Elder J. Burch, the Tennessee Mountaineers’ “At The River”, Empire Jubilee Quartet’s “Wade In the Water”, the Birmingham Jubilee Singers’ “Wade In the Water, Elder Burch’s “baptism By the Holy Ghost” and Ernest Stoneman’s “Down To Jordan and Be Saved”.
Dust to Digital never fails to amaze…

A ugg boots clearance recent survey found that one out of five Americans teenage or older want an iPad. No wonder Apple is selling three million iPads a month. It's the fastest-selling single product in the history of consumer electronics. Most buyers are choosing an iPad as a supplement to their current computers -- for watching movies in bed, like I do, or reading books in my easy chair when there's nothing good on TV ugg boots clearance. The iPad pretty much has the personal side of computing covered. But what about the computer side? What about the tasks you do on your laptop or on your desktop computer ugg boots clearance? But I'm convinced that many of you would find the iPad a delightful replacement for a typical laptop computer, whether a Windows PC or Mac, if you mostly use a laptop for three typical functions -- e-mail, social networking (through Facebook, for example) and Web browsing ugg boots clearance. What about occasional word processing? Apple's word processor, called Pages, is outstanding on the iPad. (A bonus: It also works easily with Microsoft Word documents, both reading them and saving them.) If you need software that can show and create PowerPoint presentations, iPad software called Keynote can do that nicely. There's even an Excel-compatible program called Numbers ugg boots clearance. All three of these productivity programs -- called apps -- sell for only $10 each. Getting something equivalent to Microsoft Office for only $30 is surely a steal ugg boots clearance. There are many, either free or a couple of dollars, at the App Store ugg boots outlet. Could an iPad be your only computer? Not for long. It gets updates via free software called iTunes running on a standard computer. When you plug the iPad into the computer using a USB cable, iTunes transfers the updates to your iPad ugg boots outlet. (iTunes is also used to add music, books, podcasts, university lectures, TV shows and movies to an iPad.) But if my experience is a guide, the iPad can function well as a replacement for a laptop. If you buy one, be sure to get the Keyboard Dock and the Camera Connection Kit. Photos look spectacular on the 10-inch screen ugg boots clearance.

Sam, more unwilling and gloomy as the task seemed more hopeful,lv bags was set to work on the spot, gathering and sorting and cleaning the rings; and when (as he was pleased to point out) these were clearly insufficient for one so broadlouis vuitton outlet of back and breast as Master Egidius, they made him split up old chains and hammer the links into rings as fine as his skill could contrive.,ugg boots clearance They took the smaller rings of steel and stitched them on to the breast of the jerkin, and the larger and clumsierugg boots clearance rings they stitched on the back; and then, when still more rings were forthcoming, so hard was poor Sam driven, they took a pair of the farmer's breeches and stitched rings on to them. And up on a shelf in a dark nook of the smithy the miller found the old iron frame of a helmet, and he set the cobbler to work,cheap uggs covering it with leather as well as he could.
