AMERICAN BANDSTAND-BLACK AND WHITE WORLD



        In the early years when I was growing up there was no color TV, everything was black and white, even when I look at early photos of my family and myself, our cloths were not as colorful as they are today.  


         When I was fourteen years old we were in Philadelphia for a convention my dad attended and they took all of the teenagers to Dick Clark’s American Bandstand Television dance show.






When you were on American
Bandstand you didn't just sit and watch, everyone had to dance.  It was live TV in those days and black
and white, the set had no color, it didn't have to, no one who was watching could see it.  Even the kids who were there dancing, did not wear cloths as colorful as today.  Pretty drab I must say.  Can you see me in there?


       Then several years later, sometime in the sixty’s everyone got color TV.  It changed my world, I think it is what inspired me to use color as a main tool in expressing myself on canvas.
