My Town Monday: The Village Was Alive With the Sounds of Music
The sounds of music were everywhere in the Village of Peninsula, population 602, on Saturday, September 25. The 2nd Annual Music on the Porches event was indeed a success. There was music on porches, on stages, on patios and, for us, in the front window of the gallery.
We were lucky to host the amazingly talented Galgozy/Zeleny Duo , followed by a wonderful young blues guitarist, Paul Korbus. Dale and Adreanne played a variety of tunes, both original and those that are old friends. If I had remembered to charge the battery on my camera, I would have a video to share; instead enjoy this sample of their music. 
Take a look of some more photos from the day.
It was clear to me that there is a reason we call it “playing music.” The musicians played, and the listeners joined in by tapping their feet, nodding their heads, and smiling.
As always, feel free to leave me a comment, or a stone (o), to let me know you stopped by.

Wander on over to My Town Monday, and you’ll see what other folks have to say about the places they call home.
Live! On Our Porch
A couple of years ago, I read about a town that had an event where folks played music on their porches throughout the town. Businesses and private residences hosted musical events. Steve and I talked about it, and the idea was presented to the other merchants in the Village of Peninsula, population 602. Music on the Porches was born.
On Saturday, September 25, music will be heard throughout the Village, in the beautiful Cuyahoga Valley. We are delighted to once again host the Galgozy and Zeleny Duo. According to their website:
“Galgozy/Zeleny Duo is a wonderful fusion of original songs and traditional styles. Forming in 2008, the duo from the beginning has been in demand for their lilting and progressive sound. This duet is fast becoming a recognized musical experience.
Dale and Adreanne will be playing on our porch, Elements Gallery, from 1-3pm. They will be followed by Paul Kolbus, a 10 year old blues guitarist. Paul is passionate about his music and will be making his Music on the Porches debut at 4pm. We are excited to host these musicians. If you’re in our neck of the woods, stop by and see us. And check out who will be playing at the various locations in the Village. Follow this link .
Another Closer Look
A Good Book Finds a New Home
A week or so ago, I wrote a post about the Ohio and Erie Canal. I offered a drawing for a beautiful book about my Valley, the Cuyahoga. Then I forgot. So, without further ado (insert drumroll, please), the winner is Mary Whitsell. If you haven’t visited her blog, Resident Alien, please do. Mary is an extraordinary storyteller, who weaves words into an heirloom tapestry. Tell Mary, I sent you.
A Closer Look: A My Town Monday Post
I’ve been exploring the art of nature and the nature of art in and around Elements Gallery, located in the Village of Peninsula, and surrounded by the beautiful Cuyahoga Valley National Park. Take a look. And, as always, feel free to leave me a comment, or a stone (o), to let me know you’ve stopped by.
