Or the life and times of esteemed artist Robert Brady. Headed for a career as a card dealer in Reno, Nevada, in high school a teacher sat him down with a bag of wet clay and a rolling pin. It changed his life. Clay features in another interview here, this one with wood-fire specialist, potter Michael Miller, who talks about the ancient art. The magic extends to our interview with the classic flautist, street musician and bohemian, Marvin Sanders, and then on to the secret sculptor of Cayuga Park, Demetrios Braceros. It finally settles at the sketchbook of Romanian immigrant, Florin Ion Firimita. Only in this magazine.
