"An idea is salvation to the imagination."

Frank Lloyd Wright was the architect of that suggestion, and the iconic Guggenheim Museum. In a rare mid-week journey to the place Alicia Keys refers to as the 'concrete jungle where dreams are made of,' met up with friends in town from Hong Kong, a city I hope to visit this year for their wedding. My love and congratulations to Kenny & Yvonne! Currently, there's an exhibit at The Guggenheim called Haunted, installed through the fall and worth checking out. In one of the side galleries, are renderings from architects and designers from around the world depicting ideas for how they might fill the center or use Frank Lloyd Wright's visionary space. It seems someone else had the same idea that occured to me--rollerblade from top to bottom. : )

The exhibition required darkness, so the gallery space you would expect to be bathed in natural light courtesy of its magnificent rooftop, had a much more sombre vibe. Thought-provoking work in contrast to the summer-like weather outside the museum doors.

This week in our Hudson Valley Artist Spotlight, Dana Edelman shared the song Blue Roses, from his album titled by the song.

Dana mentioned that he loves playing at The Depot Theatre in Garrison, or you may catch him performing at Whistling Willie's in Cold Spring soon. Learn more about Dana and his music at his site or space. He'll be in the line up at the Cold Spring Summer Concert Series this year.

And now for something completely different and deliciously retro....
Jive & twist,
