Dear Chattery

Tour Guide: Ladies and gentlemen, I’d like to draw your attention to this exceptional piece of art on display. This painting is the creation of our special guest today, Mr. Adam Keats, a talented drummer who, due to financial constraints, used a canvas as a drum. What’s even more fascinating is that instead of drumsticks, Adam used paintbrushes loaded with paint to play the canvas. This unique combination of art and music has led to the painting being valued at millions of dollars. Mr. Keats, would you like to share your inspiration behind this innovative piece?

Adam Keats: Thank you for the warm introduction. Well, you see, I was in a bit of a bind. My band was set to perform, and I didn’t have the money for a proper drum set. I did, however, have this large canvas lying around. So, I thought, why not make the most of it? I decided to use the canvas as a drum, and the paint-loaded brushes created these incredible patterns as I played. It was a true marriage of visual art and music.

Tour Guide: That’s fascinating! Now, I’d like to open up the floor for questions from the audience.

Audience Member: Uh, yeah, hi. My question is, if you had to choose a type of sandwich to eat for the rest of your life, what kind would it be?

Adam Keats: (laughs) Wow, that’s a great question. Let me think… I’d probably have to go with a good ol’ peanut butter and jelly sandwich. It’s a classic, and it reminds me of my childhood. Plus, you can always switch up the types of jelly to keep things interesting.

Audience Member: Oh, yeah, that’s a solid choice! Do you have a favorite jelly flavor?

Adam Keats: I’m partial to strawberry, but I love trying out new flavors. There’s something about the combination of the salty peanut butter and the sweet jelly that just hits the spot, you know? And the bread choices can make a difference too! Have you ever tried it on sourdough?

Audience Member: No, I haven’t! That sounds amazing!

Adam Keats: Oh, it really is! You know, there’s a bakery down the street from my apartment that makes the best sourdough. Maybe I should do a painting inspired by the perfect peanut butter and jelly sandwich on sourdough… Anyway, I could talk about sandwiches all day!

Tour Guide: (smiling) It seems we’ve gone off on a delicious tangent, but we appreciate your passion, Mr. Keats. Thank you all for joining us on this tour, and thank you, Adam, for sharing your unique artwork and answering our questions.
