Homer (LOC)

    This is a series of portraits of the family of composer Sidney Homer (1864-1953) and his wife contralto Louise Dilworth Homer née Beatty (1871-1947). Homer composed many of his songs with the voice of his famous wife in mind. Among his most famous songs are "A Banjo Song" (Weeden), "Requiem" (Stevenson), "Casey at the Bat" (Thayer), and "The House that Jack Built" ("Mother Goose.") Louise Homer made her American opera debut at the Metropolitan Opera in New York City in 1900 singing Amneris in Verdi's Aida. She sang at the Met for 19 consecutive seasons, often singing opposite such acclaimed singers as Enrico Caruso, Geraldine Farrar, and Ernestine Schumann-Heink. Composer Samuel Barber was her nephew. In 1923 and 1924 she was listed as one of the 12 greatest living women by the National League of Women Voters. They had six children, including twin daughters Anne Homer and Kathryn Homer, son Sidney Homer, Jr. (economist and author), and daughter Louise Homer.  [1] [2] There are currently 33 photographs of the Homer family in the Bain Collection on Flickr. You can view them all here. They were first identified by Art Siegel, B-59, pennylrichardsca (now at ipernity), Wystan, swanq, and Richard Norton.

    This sign says Motel but there is a Martha's Dandee Creme at 1133 U.S. 9, Queensbury, NY 12804 with a similar sign.

    Queensbury's still "Lake George" to a lot of people. This is at the southern "pole" of the tourist area across from (what is now) Six Flags' Great Escape. North of here is the strip of factory outlets at the I-87/US-9/NY-149 intersection where the roads bringing people from Albany/NYC, Montreal and Vermont converge. North of *that* is Lake George itself. South of here are a few small attractions but you get pretty quickly into generic non-touristy suburbia of Glens Falls.
