Mary and her musician, Mike Wolk |
The Charleston Artists Guild Gallery's Reception for their Featured Artist , Mary Stuart Hay was a huge success last night both financially and socially. The gallery was hopping with art lovers from the moment the doors opened.

I always used to scoff at my mother's
insistence that the accordion should be my instrument of choice. Well
guess what we had for entertainment at the CAG Friday Art Walk
Reception last night? That's right, an accordionist belting out
European cafe music. I am no longer scoffing. The guy was more popular
than the pied piper. I kid you not.. he had them singing "Amore" at the
top of their lungs.
Friday
was also the opening night of the Wine and food festival, and the streets of
Charleston were filled with tourists milling from one part of town to
another.
Whenever
our gallery got a little empty, the musician would walk outside and
stand on the street playing; then he'd come back in followed by throngs
of people.
I don't know who was the bigger success -- the featured
artist Mary Stuart Hay, or her wandering minstrel. It was a lot of fun.
