This week our “Pick” is another great Mid-Century Modern Find. A great coffee table with a cast iron and chrome base. This vintage table is from the 1960’s and measures 36″ in diameter and stands 17″ tall. The top of the table is made from Weyerhaeuser Forplex with a simulated wood grain finish.
This Saturday (7/25) is the annual Art Fest on the River in Williamston (10am-6pm) and a great reason to be in Williamston on Saturday. We will be opening at 10am on Saturday. Hope to see you here.
This week in honor of all that has happened with marriage rights; I thought an album by legendary folk singer and protester, Pete Seeger would be appropriate for our “Pick”. This record was recorded live at Carnegie Hall in 1963 and released later that year. These are the songs that fueled the fires of protest. Pete was called a Communist for his beliefs but he only wanted equality and fairness. Don’t we all want the same things? Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
Happy Independence Day.
Our “Pick” this week is a recent find, The Oscar Peterson Trio & the Gerry Mulligan Quartet at Newport. These legendary live performances were recorded in 1957 (Peterson) and 1962 (Mulligan). If you are a Jazz aficionado you know that you can’t go wrong with Oscar Peterson. Hear history being made on this hard to find record.
