Local artist Gerald King's drawings from the Bookshop concerts

Gerald says "For those of you who remember the Riverdale Bookshop and “Music Junction” you may be interested in browsing a recently added page to my web site.

I’ve put up 100 sketches I did while attending Saturday performances from 2001 to 2005. These are on-the-spot pencil sketches of the musicians and audience during live performances. Though I am not a courtroom artist, nor was my intent here to do portraits, some may recognize the people portrayed.

I dedicate this page to Audrey and Simon for providing Riverdale Park some unique history. Those of us, who were fortunate enough to be there and helped keep the Bookshop alive, should cherish our memories, and hope someday the community spirit and vitality of that brief period will occur again."
