Song: How About Me
Singers: The Lettermen
Composer: Irving Berlin
In my opinion, this is one of the best renditions of the Lettermen.
This is a very sad piece of music that I thought would appropriately complement as a background to a video essay of photos that captured the mood and emotions of people during the American Depression.
(Note: No political statement intended.)

UPDATE:
An article about the "Migrant Mother", the 1936 photo taken by Dorothea Lange 0:30~0:34, appeared on CNN.com on December 3, 2008 (after I made the original version of this video 7/31/2008).
It tells the account of one 4-year old child on that photo. Here's a link to that account.

My introduction to this great song was on listening to Ella Fitzgerald version on a local Scottish radio station many years ago and it has been a firm favourite ever since.
Thank you for sharing this excellent post.
P.S.
Great images too !

Beautiful song by one of the wonderful and truly great composers of the great Anerican songbook.

It's over, all over
And soon somebody else
Will make a fuss about you
But how about me?
It's over, all over
And soon somebody else
Will tell her friends about you
But how about me?
You'll find somebody new
But what am I to do
I'll still remember you
When you have forgotten
[2x:]
And maybe a baby
Will climb upon your knee
And put its arms about you
But how about me?
It's over
But how about me?
