George Michalski and Vince Wallace
Artist
Suzanne Giuriati Cerny
Medium
Painting - Oil On Canvas
Description
George Michalski, well known San Francisco pianist and Vince Wallace, beloved Saxophonist who passed away this year, recorded an acoustical album together called When the Power Goes. I "discovered" Oakland saxophonist Vince Wallace in Mendocino the year that I lived there. George Michalski "discovered" me when I went to his house to rent a room in 1988. He liked me because I was an artist and I admired his choice in painting in his house: the Grateful Dead logo painting. I told him that he could play piano day or night, that it was my favorite instrument.

Hello Wallace Family My name is Eric Albronda . I produced "When The Power Goes" with George Michalski and Vince along with George . Also I am the proud owner of the original oil painting by Suzanne Cerny . I am a bit undone at your reaction to the price of the prints. First of all " any publicity is good publicity in the music business. I would suggest you be thankful that Suzanne has picked this beautiful print to offer to the public at an affordable price --not everyone has big money these days .fr What it is worth--I would be happy to sell you the original oil painting for $24, 450.00 which is cheap considering the artist and her superior reputation and work .. Kindest thoughts

Hi Marra, I am pretty sure we met at the church in Oakland at your dad's memorial service. I think I may have met you earlier, since I remember seeing your brothers in Fort Bragg where they were living with your dad, in 1983. I would like to see you again. We both live in the East Bay, according to your email to me. This is the first time I tapped back into FAA since you wrote to me. I understood immediately how you felt, or must have felt when you saw the image of this painting. I will have a print made for you. Please notice that I have indeed raised the prices for prints in various sizes from FineArtAmerica. The original is sold, and I see that the sale price was marked at $8,000. That's amazing because I sold it for less than that, perhaps about 700. It is a nice painting, and I am the one who arranged to have your dad (my first saxophone player who I knew as a live person); and George Michalski, an acoustic pianist, get together. They produced an album in 1987, I think it was, called When the Power Goes. It was great listening to them rehearse there, in the living room of George's house.
