Okay, the details are coming together for the 1 PM Gallery Talk I am giving on Saturday at the West End Gallery. Here’s what I have so far.
There will be:
- Margarita Fountain and Omelet bar.
- Psychic Readings.
- Bagpipers.
- Guest Appearance from Jimmy Osmond.
- The June Taylor Dancers. Or the Golddiggers from the Dean Martin Show. We are still in negotiations with both.
- Rap Battles.
- Ziplines.
- Fireworks Display.
- A Fly-Over by the Thundercats. Couldn’t get the Thunderbirds but I have been assured these guys are nearly as good.
- Acrobats. Kind of a Cirque du Soleil vibe but without all the apparatus. Or movement or music.
Okay, maybe I let my imagination get away from me. Actually, it will just be a middle-aged guy talking about art. I might hold a sparkler but that is as close to spectacle as it will get. But there is a free drawing for one (or more) of my paintings. And there are, of course, more prizes and some light refreshments. And lively conversation which makes for a good time.
Here’s my promise: It won’t be the worst hour you ever spent.
Hope you can make it.
LEGAL DISCLAIMER: Absolutely none of the items listed in red above will be on hand this Saturday at the West End Gallery unless Jimmy Osmond or the Golddiggers somehow find their way into the gallery.

Bagpipers? Bagpipers? I’m booking my ticket right now. Maybe I can stop by Poughkeepsie and drag my Muse back home while I’m at it.
Have fun!
Thanks, Linda. Bagpipers were the one thing on that list that I would really want to have there. One of my favorite times in a bar came a number of years ago at an Irish pub in Alexandria, VA. We were enjoying a few beers while listening to a wonderful bar troubador with a guitar. Late in the doings, he said he was going to take a break and turned the floor over to the City of Alexandria pipe band. I can’t remember exactly but I believe there were about 8 or 10 pipers and two drummers in a relatively small space. What a sound! For someone who loves the pipes, it was sonic paradise. For those who didn’t, it was just pain. Fortunately, Cheri and I love the sound.
