    It's redundant to say it, but, beautifully done. My apologies for reposting the image but for me it perfectly captures the pathos expressed in the song.

      Thanks, mate. I hadn't thought about it, but you're right. That picture is the best example. The saloon girl has just made Arthur an offer. There is no dialogue option to accept or decline. But a few seconds later, she says: "You don't know what you're missing."  Oh well.

    Somehow I knew the theme just looking at the first picture. Her outfit and the fan. I know Arlo G pretty well though Nancy G doesn't ring a bell. And I'd never heard that song before. It brought a tear - or a few- to my eye Slowly scrolling down along with the words. Your pictures so perfectly illustrating the sad theme. Well done, once again Laird
    On another note: I've noticed that tehre are more than one version  - 3 I think- of this game. Which one is it you are playing?

      Nancy Griffith is not as well known as Emily Lou Harris, and maybe is better known in Texas -- Austin in particular. But she sings in that style of Harris and Kate Wolf. Try Love at the Five and Dime, a fun little ballad. You might like it.

      Thank you.

      Yes, I guess there are three: the original RDR, RDR online and I'm playing RDR2. I haven't played the others, but I notice that a lot of people here play the online game.

    It brings tears to my eyes and it meant you did it perfectly well. It is a beautiful, sad, and full of true hard life story. Thank you, Laird!

      I'm glad that this evoked some strong emotions from you, but the credit goes to Townes Van Zandt.

      Thank you for the kind words. You can sneak back into the game now and then. I won't tell anyone. :)

    That's a very sad story,  but, in truth, not so uncommon as we might think.
    Great picsto back up the lines, very subdued yet colorfull

      Yes, not uncommon. And it was little more than 100 years ago. Famine, disease, accidents, depression -- shorter life expectancy. We certainly have much to be thankful for today. Work to be done yet, improvements always needed. But let's get to work on some real problems in countries where people still die of starvation, malaria, small pox -- or worse yet, are enslaved. Or in the first world countries -- drugs and drug deaths. Seems like a lot of "problems" I hear about today are as Graham Chapman (Monty Python) used to say, "No, no, that's just silly."

    <p><strong>These are really great pictures, the game is also on my wish list. When I read the title, I immediately thought of the Indian film Tecumseh, by DEFA. This is the former film production of the GDR. Tecumseh is one of a large number of films with Gojko Mitic. The Pierre Briece from the east. The video shows a small excerpt from the film.

      Thank you. Yes we learn about Tecumseh and his brother, the Prophet, in school. (Despite what the CRT people say.)That movie looks like it would be a good one. One of our presidents William Henry Harrison gained the nickname "Tippecanoe" when he defeated the Prophet's Army at Tippecanoe. Oh, and Tecumseh was killed during the War of 1812 while fighting for the British. I had to look up that last piece of info .

      Pierre Brice, interesting. I didn't know him. So few movies "not made in Hollywood" make it to the States. These days they try harder to cast American Indians in those parts. I used to think it was rather strange to see someone like Sal Mineo, with his face darkened, playing an Indian.

    Really nice soft toned pics... I love when you do a song themed set like this one... you always know which song fits the best to interpret with game images

      Thank you. I do spend a lot of time looking for the best song. In fact, most of the time, I find the song first, then shoot the pictures. Especially with ballads.

    I recognize some of those lovely ladies--was in the Rhodes saloon last night playing black jack.   Absolutely lovely set of images and the music matched perfectly. 

    Long ago paid a visit to old Dodge City and the Dodge City Boothill (it's now called the Boothill Museum) and something I read there talked about the red light district.  I was surprised at the time that a lot of the ladies that worked in the red light district ended up eventually marrying (usually cowpokes from the trail drives) and leaving.  Back then there was no unemployment or welfare or government assistance, if you didn't work, you starved and it was especially hard for women to find work--seems the cowboys understood this even if society at large turned their noses up at the "painted ladies".

      Thank you. I think I'm becoming a regular there. The bartender always has a friendly greeting for Arthur. The girls too, of course. We did get into a fight there once with some of the Lemoyne boys, but I guess that's been forgotten. I noticed that there seems to be two sets (at least two) of ladies and gents. They alternate on different nights apparently. I was able to go back a night or two later and find the same subjects again.

      Interesting about the "working girls". There were no dating services either -- oh wait, there were "mail-order brides." Hmm... maybe what you read is a variation of the theme "hard times make strong men (women)."   A cowboy, or a small farmer/rancher  on the frontier would have need of a strong woman.

    That's absolutely fantastic. If you'd have told me the main image was cosplay humans and not RDR2 I'd have believed you. Fantastic! :)

    p.s. Beautiful story! :)

      Thank you. I'm still playing with sharpness and clarity -- and always looking for better lighting. Townes Van Zandt was quite the teller of tales in the ballads he wrote. Pancho and Lefty for one -- Emmie Lou Harris does a good version, but my favorite is Merle and Willie. (mainly because of the video)

      Thank you, sir. It's kinda funny that there is no bordello in the game. But each of the hotels and saloons has "ladies of ill-repute".
