Still catching up . . . Ty Cowell and his guitar performed professionally earlier this month at a club in St. Augustine called Rendezvous (I think). Wife Pam reports that the crowd was very supportive and there was a nice turnout for Ty's effort . . . I had introduced you to Syd Summerhill's sculptures some weeks back, but I didn't know that he was an artist as well. Bob received a 'thank you' note for a tea and crumpets get-together he had recently and we were pleasantly surprised to see that the card was adorned with one of Syd's paintings. Thought you would like to see it as well . . . I really like this week between Christmas and New Year's Day because it allows us to play a favorite CD of ours. Bob discovered it some years ago. It is a recording of a broadcast to our troops in WWII wishing them a Happy 1945. We hear a lot of big bands and singers doing the pop songs of the day. I wish we could play it more, but Bob rightly insists that it go back on the rack once the New Year is celebrated. It has become a Bare Wall tradition of sorts . . . Do any of you remember Milkman, Keep Those Bottles Quiet? . . .
