Second, The Estate of Andrew Hanson and Photographic Archives Lab and Gallery, Dallas, Texas is making available through the fund a very limited edition portrait of Lightnin' Hopkins. Mr. Hanson was 27 years old when he shot the above image of Hopkins in 1959. The image was used as the cover shot for Hopkins' Tradition label album, Autobiography in Blues.
These prints were made in 2007 prior to Hanson's death. Currently there are 40 prints available.  These gorgeous prints are US$115 (including shipping and handling); overseas shipping is an additional cost. Checks or money orders, made out to the fund, may be sent to:
Lightnin' Hopkins Marker Fund
501 East 16th
Houston, TX 77008
Third, a lot of requests have come in for a chance to make contributions with credit cards. While the fund cannot accept credit cards, prints or contributions may now be made through PayPal. Any print purchases or contributions may be sent via PayPal to: redavis59@comcast.net.
Fourth, Houston musician Lee Alexander is contributing proceeds from sales of his song Wheels to the fund. The song is downloadable for only 99 cents! Hear a song sample and then purchase the song, or Lee's entire album, at:
