KEEPING FAITH, KEEPING FRIENDS

Here's another photo that brings back memories, the night that Nancy met Tony Bennett, and then he sang at the local country club that night. There were so mzny great things done by Simic Galleries, so many wonderful events. It was a lovely weekend for everyone involved.

As I go through my albums I find that there are some many more photos than I realized, like hundreds of them, but if I had access to your photo files, there's be thousands more. What a story they tell, and how many lives have been affected by Simic Galleries. I'll say one thing, that these people were often brought together for one of the banquets and it was a high point in their year and in their careers.

Then, I'll add in here the last verse of the poem, TOMORROW;

Yes, Tomorrow may seem like the poerfect day,
But Tomorrow's the day that may never come'
Tomorrow, the clock is ticking away.
< For Tomorrow's not certain for anyone.

FRIENDSHIPS often break up when one party perceives that the other is acting unfairly and there seems little chance of resolution of the problem. I've worked with artists for many years, merely an agreement and a handshake, one of those lasting 22 years, another 21 and another 20. It takes two people who value their friendship to make such deals work. And, at times, in spite of both trying hard, there an be misunderstandings. Good friendshipos survive such things, perhaps taking time to resolve, but eventually arriving at a resolution.

Here's that famous Simic Smile. I meant to use it on the first section of this Blog.
