Hello, My name is Michael the"Hook" Deutsch, just checkin' in for the first time to this site. I'm a one handed keyboardist in the Twin Cities residency area, I play piano at the Malt Shop in S. Mpls. on 50th. 'n' Bryant ave. every Wed. & Sunday eve's. 5-8pm.
I play the real stuff on an acoustic upright piano, or at least I consider it the roots of all american born music anyway,right, can I get a witness? Blues/Jazz'z my forte', and you've never seen me play, or if you've experienced a one pawed pianist, before? Well then you'll be completely astonished and amazed with what I can do. So come on out, one and all, it's a great little diner, good food, and great entertainment at that, too. Lookin' forward to meetin' ya's. If you do come out and you read it here, don't be shy, at least hi. 'taint nothin' but the Blues ya'll, and maybe a little bit of this 'n' little bit of that, ya never know!! M'H'D

Hi "The Hook,"

Welcome. I am curious to hear you play. It would be great if you post your gigs in The Salon. I will come check you out sometime.

Thanks for stopping in, Hook! I'd love to see a one pawed pianist play as well! Sounds impressive as hell. It's times like these I wished I lived in the Cities...

Hi "The Hook"!

My sister and I have both heard of your prowess with the piano, but we have not witnessed with our own four ears. My sis asks, do you have any recordings?

Hi, I'm Sheila Smith. I'm looking forward to talking about all of these important issues with you on Thursday. I will be here with Larry Redmond, our lobbyist, to talk about the activities of Minnesota Citizens for the Arts and our work at the Minnesota Legislature to forward the interests of the arts at the Capitol.

Hi Sheila! Glad you stopped by the forum. Please keep us updated on the work of the MCA. You're doing the Lord's work, as they say!

Welcome.

" Say Hello First" How about calling me a novice at this kind of thing and pardoning my snafu of jumping head first when I haven't even introduced myself. So, Hello, my name is Rea Mingeva. I am an artist who finds it difficult to pin down of what category of medium I put would put myself. I do know for certain that I am a Minnesota Artist, and I am in the middle (or somewhere between the beginning and the end) of creating a working carousel (about the scale of one of those you would see out front of a grocery store.) It has three blind mice who when activated by the viewer's foot pressure on a floor pressure pad, puts those nasty looking rats into a motion of 24 revolutions a minute, each pedal their unicycle wheels as fast as their spindly legs will allow. I teach painting and drawing down here at Minnesota State University, Mankato. In my younger years I waited tables to support my art habit, and it wasn't until I was 34 years old that I went to grad school and have been teaching since 1989. I found teaching to be extremely difficult up until just a few years ago . In relative terms to waitressing, it was a creative drain that I really didn't think I could endure. But now I find that after almost 15 years of practice, I recognize that rather than letting my teaching threaten to use up every teaspoon of creative juices I possess, my studio work has slowly become my syllabus, my daily inspiration for my classes and that fits more like a glove than a collar. I grew up in the Twin Cities. Bounced around doing my undergraduate work beginning at Moorhead in 1970. I am married to Tom Moore, an artist in his own right, we both taught at Savannah College of Art and Design (ugh) for three years until I took the job at MSU. We live in Good Thunder, about 15 minutes S.W. of the University, and home to one of Tacomba Aiken's Grain silo murals that I can see from my studio window. So I'm going to get back to the mice now.. I look forward to conversations, forums, and seeing peoples work and hearing their ideas. Happy trails til then. Rea

Welcome Rea,

Your carousel sounds wonderful. I'm sitting here chuckling just thinking about it. Do you have any progress photos posted anywhere? I didn't see any on your portfolio here. Any idea of when you hope to finish it?

Thanks for including your background as well. You may be new to the forum but a lot on here (including myself) are fairly new to the art game itself. Your history alone is educational/inspirational. And I liked the imagery of your work serving as an "inspiration for my classes and that fits more like a glove than a collar."

I've really enjoyed your posts so far and I look forward to many more.

Sam
