Hello dear friends,
This will be a brief note just to remind you of few special items!!!
The first one of course is to HAVE AN AWESOME SUMMER!!!!
2ND - TO ALL OUR SAMW CAMP KIDZ PAST AND THIS COMING WEEK HOPE YOU HAD A GREAT WEEK 1 AND WILL HAVE AN AWESOME WEEK 2.
Speaking of week 2 at SAMW. While our wonderful HOST Mike Delaney will be away at Camp, Bill Duncan has gracioulsy again this year offered to fill in for Mike in the Host and audio portion of this week's upcoming Feature on 8-22- 11 and our ROM Feature will be HARVEY RUDMAN!!!!!
We hope to see you there and again my thanks go out to Bill Duncan for helping out with our audio/host setting while Mike is away.
Speaking of host's, our ROMuhost Mentorship Program has been a wonderful success!! For those that may have missed it, it is simply volunteering to introduce upcoming performers as Mike usually does as well as make announcements ect. This is a NO Pressure involvement and if at the beginning of any show you would be interested in doing this please just see me and you can do it for 1 intro or for several. It is completely flexible and we try to be user friendly in mentoring as you go along!! I must tell you this os NOT my idea, I saw it work so very well at my dear friend Ellen Schmidt's venues which I highly would highly recommend if you have NOT been to one please take a look at Ellen's website which is: www.ellenschmidt.com
Also for those of you who may be going away to camp and for those of you "In the Mood" for a songwriter/artist challenge, I have added a new title which I would love to see folks start writng songs. poetry, artwork ect about and this will be for a Future project, but would love to hear new pieces written or interpreted by you or one you know of which contains the theme of
"YOU ARE THE REASON". It is a non specific YOU as well as REASON. It can be about a loved one, a caring anybody, a nod to any Military and or any folks in all our Emergency Services Professions that place themselves in harms way to care for all of us and our families. If you can think of anything you could jot on the topic, we would love to hear it at ROM...
I look forward to seeing and hearing you all on Monday!! Have a great weekend and Until we meet again.... Always, Neal :))))

Happy belated August to one and all!!!!
Hi Folks,
I do hope you are all enjoying as much of this New England Weather Summer that we are all too used to around here!! The heat cannot and has NOT deterred out incredible ROMulin Community as our shows are and will continue to be so much fun. I/we do want to thank each and every one of you that join us at ROM for each Venue we hold and with each Venue we go home smiling having just witnessed a wonderful Community of Artist's at work!!! We had 2 totally wonderful features since my previous Blog as Computer issues and my lack of computer knowledge holds me from being a dependable blogger!!!
Let me wholeheartedly thank Carolyn Waters for her fabulous feature on 7-11-11 and David Hoffman for his Feature which he chose to call, an Evening of Flamingo vs Classical gutar playing. Both Carolyn and David did a fantastic job at entertaining our audience at ROM with totally different and both totally wonderful styles and artforms. I do believe that is the beauty of The Comunity and the Museum of Fine Artist's at Roslindale Mike that keeps us an ever changing venue which is what the Arts are all about and we are so blessed in our area to have some of the finest venues for Music & the Arts right here in New England and in our case more specifically the Greater Boston Area!!!
Using that as a segway I do want to make mention of a few Venues of folks very near and dear to us at ROM. I will add what they have said and ask you to contact them directly for any follow up questions.
The first of mention will be 2 of our very dear ROMulins, (Junko Ogawa & Craig Sonnenfeld), will be taking their artform to CT. this weekend and here is the info:
