Artie and I stopped in Maryland two see
Sandy and Phil Loiterstein
There old friends of nico and her family
They have a great home in Chevy chase
Sandy is a very talented pianist and a fan of the blog
Phil is a wonderful artist
heres one of his paintings
Phil was telling me that his nephew's son is in a popular band
i said really?
do you know their name and he said Yeah
" Vampire Weekend "
I was like what?????
He told me he remembered going to his barmitzva
and hearing his band play
Boys becoming Men
Men becoming Vampires
Heres'a piece by Albert Paley
Its in Asheville so we went over to check it out
Albert told me a story that when it was erected
outside some municipal building
alot of people got upset by it
He said that he went down to unveal it and give a speech
and the people who organized he event told him they had to rent
a larger hall to fit the like 500 upset ashvillites
He went down and spoke before an unruly crowd
xplained the process and how his work evolved to this point .
He told me he won some over
When i was working ona similar piece in FLOrida people were driving by me
yelling at me that it was ugly and cursing at me
Two electricians showed up and told me they were talking about it on the morning radio station
Fun
I was there alone
and when albert showed up for the unveiling they provided him with two police escorts
