News from the Salty Dog

For us in the northern half of U.S. this may be THE LAST MOW

The past two weeks Artist Charles Dickinson and his long time very best friend musician Debby Boon have been our house guests...They are both a joy to be with.. Last Monday Phil stated at breakfast, "this will be the last mow" for the summer. We all saw the possibilities of a song which we called "The Last Mow". Charles and Debby rose to the challenge and wrote the poem and song, which is available for you to hear..Just e-mail me and I will e-mail you the song.  Below are the words which all you who are about to put the mower away for the winter will appreciate? Our next guest exhibit in the gallery is our annual photography show. Featured photographers will be Meredith Randolph, Lonny Doyle, and Eric Steel. All 3 have their own very special way of seeing and recording their images. Eric, Phil's son will be bring a very fine musician with him, also from Philadelphia.    Dave will be playing music in the gallery the night of the artist reception which is at 5 PM on September 17th. The photographers will exhibit at the gallery until September 28th..
