RE: London for Stuckism
Don’t give up money you worked for!
I have lived under the table for so long. My Social Security will be a pittance. Not even enough to pay utilities. I’m almost proud about that, but we’ll see how I feel when the starving time comes:)
It was heavenly, out of this world, traveling across the ocean to open arms of folks we’ve never met. Great people, and we’ll do it again. Hopefully I can return the favor and host them in beautiful North country.
I promise to give you a head’s up for any exhibtions, live performance, or general big bases with friendly artsy folk. Oswego is a college town, but isolated from bigger cities. A lot of cool people from around the country (and world) settle here. The local art scene, believe it or not, is more robust than the one we experienced in London. Mostly among the over 40 crowd. The youngins are running away to the unhappiness of exhorbitant rents and 6 lane highways, thinking that’s right living.
This would be a great artist community. Affordable, beautiful scenery, intersting people, and deep winter to hide from all of it.
I will pass on the compliment to Rose. In May we begin band practice again. Get her on stage:)
Thanks. I'd love to come. I go to Auburn regularly, less than an hour's drive away.
I live in a town like yours, but much smaller. I imagine that you love summer in Oswego, without the students. The college here is a vocational outpost of a SUNY college 15 miles away in Alfred. Lots of artists here, too, the hills are teeming with them. No Stuckists that I know of, and the covid con wiped out any vibrancy the music scene once had. My life is much easier than my previous 40 or more years living near or in NYC. Maybe your kids will move back when they retire, as I did.
I love it here.
