Antique radio

Visiting Charleston? If you like old time radio and television then you certainly do not want to miss a visit to the John Rivers Communication museum! I have visited the museum in the past and have personally met the curators who were kind enough to allow me and my wife access to the entire museum including all the great stuff that is not on display. What a treat! As a collector and junior restorator myself I really enjoyed the museum. Below is the link to their site and a short description as quoted from their website:

http://www.cofc.edu/~jrmuseum/ Located at on the College of Charleston campus in the historic district of beautiful downtown Charleston, South Carolina. We are housed in the Elliot House, built in 1803. Our four display rooms highlight a wonderful collection of antique radios, televisions, phonographs, telephones, magic lanterns, motion picture projectors, and other items related to the history and entertainment of the communications and broadcasting fields. The museum offers individual and group tours, a variety of educational programs for grades K-12, and many educational events related to both topical social issues and communications history.

I personally have bought the first two volumes and highly recommend getting these for yourself.

Paintings and prints by Toni Quest http://www.screamingwoman.com Toni Quest is a self taught very accomplished painter and published poet. My wife Sarah and Toni have been best friends since college and remain in contact with each other as to date. Toni has had art exibits in Beaufort, South Carolina and also Augusta, Georgia of which she was picked from several select artists around the world to display her work for the 50th anniversary Tribute to James Brown.

Toni has several prints of her work and book available View from the middle of the road Vol. 2 in US showcases the unique voices of African-American poets living the American experience: Makal Ani, Lucinda Clark, Toni Quest and Robert Ward.

For the past 19 years, Lucinda Clark, President of Phoenix Rising Art Enterprises, Inc., has worked with budding authors and artists, publishing and bringing the work o these talented newcomers to the public. In this second gorgeous anthology of poetry, Clark showcases her own work and the poems of three new poetic voices. Makal Ani, a South Carolinian, speaks from the heart about love and faith; Robert Ward, a North Carolinian, uses rhythm to explore his thoughts on spirit and memory, while Toni Quest, a New Yorker whose artwork adorns the anthology’s beautiful cover, ‘trips the light fantastic’ with her playful poetry.

This sterling compilation offers a fresh poetic view on what it means to live in . Each poet represents a different state on the east coast, and is given a section in the book to share views on love, life, spirit and even death. This is a feast of poetry and a wonderful gift for anyone who loves being the first to discover new talent.

My Big sister Carols website, which I have to say, I really enjoyed the site. It is filled with very funny videos from YouTube and and talent which ranges between Carols interests in Photoshop and her sons first performance as a songwriter and singer.
