Speaker 2 (01:01):
Oko yah everybody, We're back. Okay, So you I hope
you're writing down these dates because they had a whole
bunch of them. And as long as we're doing that,
where is my note is? I want to remind you
obviously with the October nineteenth, just put down a date
and a later date. I will tell you more about it.

(01:21):
But there's going to be a show. A highwayman a
Big Highway and show November thirtieth, that's a Sunday in
Vero Beach and I will be the sponsor. And also
a show December thirteenth. Now and December thirteenth will be
with a artist, a legacy artist that was trained by

(01:46):
Bennie Bachis. He lived down the street from Bennie Beechis
and he trained by him.

Speaker 4 (01:52):
So and this'll be at your gallery.

Speaker 2 (01:55):
That will be at my gallery. Whereas the November thirtieth
we'll be at a big social So those are two
dates you want to remember. But as long as we're
talking about the social hall on November thirtieth, that same
social hall is where November seventh and November ninth. November
seventh Friday, November ninth Sunday is the annual Temple Best

(02:17):
Shalon rubber sale. The community looks forward to it. Why
number one, nothing is sold expensive bargain prices, Yeah they are.

Speaker 4 (02:28):
I've been there they are.

Speaker 2 (02:29):
Nothing is nothing that's scratched, ruined, doesn't work, electronically or used.
We do not sell those. We sell jewelry, linens, housewares, electronics,
electronics are all good working condition. Toys and games, books,
paintings and frames and Misscellinge. A lot of miscellaneous were priced,

(02:54):
I mean very generously, very low. Why it's interfaith in action.
Other word, this is not just a Jewish, not just
a Christian. Interfaith in action means it makes no difference
what religion you belong to. We all belong and we
all hear a power of time with one lease from
the same God. So I've given you November seventh, November ninth,

(03:19):
November thirtieth, October nineteenth. There will be something in November,
and I'll let you know when if it comes into fruition.
These things don't just happen, okay, So I've given you
dates to work with. I want to share with you
a little bit more about for instance, hot and cold, cold, cold,

(03:40):
freezing collectible plates, whether they're Bradford or any collectible plates,
maybe some iscellaneous unusual, but as a rule you can't
give them away. If you've got money to burn, buy
for buck apiece, go someplace safe and use them as

(04:00):
frisbees because you can't sell them. And by the way
they fly beautifully have done it.

Speaker 4 (04:05):
I was gonna say, or is it?

Speaker 3 (04:07):
What's the Greek tradition where you throw the plates into
the dancing floor or whatever.

Speaker 4 (04:11):
There you go.

Speaker 2 (04:12):
I didn't thought.

Speaker 4 (04:13):
Yeah they do. They flip them mentally.

Speaker 3 (04:14):
Yeah, I've been to them before in the Greek festivals
where you get to throw the dishes.

Speaker 2 (04:17):
Yeah, well, then buy them and donate them to the
Greek Orthodox churches in Vero Beach and in Fort Pierce
by the way, That church and Fort is gorge Yeah,
they are on twenty fifth Street. Just stunning. Okay, so
plates Pokemon cards like baseball Pokemon hat when I say hot,
you can't touch them. You'll scorch yourself.

Speaker 4 (04:38):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (04:39):
Baseball cards and football, basketball and so on. The bigger rookies,
the older ones. Again, all about condition. They can take
the same Pokemon basketball basketball, Yeah, basketball, football, baseball, whatever.
A card that's worth one hundred dollars, maybe worth ten dollars,
maybe worth ten thousand dollars, all about condition. Silver and

(05:02):
gold coins hot.

Speaker 4 (05:03):
Hot, hot, solid silver solid.

Speaker 2 (05:07):
Solid point nine ninety nine silver, and of course twelve
carrot fourteen Garrett jewelry coins. Obviously gold coins, and be
careful when you're buying. There's a lot of fake silver coins,
allegedly silver. Well, if you take a silver coin to
drop it on the counter, you're gonna hear a little

(05:28):
pink like with crystal. If you take the counterfeit silver dollar,
you're gonna hear a thud, like a piece of cement
fell on it. If a flat dud, it's not real.
And again you got magnets for your silver. So again
we talked about dolls, plates, pokemon, figurines, hamels, yadro precious moments, cold,

(05:57):
not freezing, but cold. Now the bigger yadros though, and
the bigger hummos, I mean big, you know, twelve inch,
fourteen inch, they'll still hold a value, but maybe a
quarter on the dollar, whereas the smaller ones they're a
nickel of diamond a dollar. So what are you talking about? Well,
were there used to be one hundred dollars and five

(06:19):
ten dollars, But if there were three four five hundred dollars,
now they're out maybe fifty not fifty, one hundred to
two hundred dollars. The big ones are rare, and if
you can find them with boxes, you can add another
fifty two hundred percent added value. Everybody threw the boxes
out or put them in storage, and the rats ate

(06:39):
them up. Same with baseball cards. The boxes and they
came in. And the same thing with die cast. If
it's always if you've got the boxes in good condition,
by all means makes it more valuable. But so now
we've talked about coins, We've talked about it's a boy,
the way posts, its dams dead, there is a doornail.

(07:02):
There are exceptions.

Speaker 4 (07:03):
Yeah, people don't even know what they are any longer.

Speaker 2 (07:05):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (07:06):
Well you know a lot of people, don't you.

Speaker 2 (07:08):
But there there's money to be made if you know
what you're buying. But the trick is to find the
buyer is willing to pay something for it. Yeah, so
you got to be careful what you pay for it.

Speaker 4 (07:17):
And what about glass wearing? All that goes along with dishes?
Not so much.

Speaker 1 (07:21):
I'm not.

Speaker 2 (07:22):
I'm not. I'm not. I've never specialized in glass. Okay,
you know you got like the Carnival glass, ye, the
crystal glass and so on. I can give you advice.
You can call me at ninety five four five five
seven six two two six, and I can give you
some ideas as far as evaluation, I cannot give you appraisals.

(07:42):
There's certain to think something much better at and certain
things I'm not. But if you've got questions, I'll be
happy to help you and if no charge. Obviously, I'm
an ambassador for collectibles. I'm an ambassador for the Florida
High Women. Let's talk about high women a minute. I
moved here in twenty ten Cindy, Okay, in twenty ten,
So twenty eleven, I went to my first Jetson show.

(08:06):
At that show, there were fourteen high Women in attendance.
Of the twenty six, now eight of those twenty six
passed away before twenty ten. I did a study last night.
I mean thought that you should see the sheet if
you don want to turn around. So I knew all

(08:27):
fourteen they were there. I was in a kid in
a candy shop. I mean I got some of them.
I got to know real well, just beautiful, each one individually,
as beautiful as you can get. And so I was
very lucky. But unfortunately we lost two and twenty fourteen
one in twenty fifteen, one in twenty sixteen, one in

(08:48):
twenty seventeen, two and twenty nineteen one in twenty twenty one,
in twenty one two and twenty two one in twenty
three one in twenty four one. In twenty five we
lost twelve of the fourteen.

Speaker 6 (09:01):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (09:02):
Yeah, And so at this point right now, there are
only four living high women there, Curtis Arenett, Ra Lewis,
Sam Newton and Woodie Reagan. And they're getting up there
in age. They are, they are, and the Sam's still painting,
not prolifically. To me, ar Ra Lewis is not prolific

(09:24):
but still painting. Willy Reagan is not painting at all,
and Curtis Arnett is painting, not prolifically. But it does
more commission work than it does art for sale work,
just to give you an idea. Lovely people, good people.
So it just gives you an idea of how lucky
I was to have been at the right place at

(09:45):
the right time to discuss. And that's why I'm so
lucky that I can share with you. And in the
future I'll try to have some I'll have Susan Niris here. Oh,
there's another date for you. One thirty one twenty five
at twenty six, one thirty one, twenty six. Those are

(10:06):
terrible measurements, aren't they. Yeah, but one is January thirty
one is January thirty first, twenty six is twenty twenty six,
The last Saturday every year at Jetson's Appliances Mattresses Electronics
at uh UH in Fort Pierson, the Flagship Store. It's

(10:26):
about a mile north of Midway Road on US one,
on the west side of the street. The most yrmongous
flag you'll see American flag is where the show is.
So put it down on your list for one thirty
one twenty six, and I'm going to wreck down the
mind to remind you one thirty one twenty six and
uh next one of the next few weeks, I'll have

(10:48):
Susan here and we'll start talking building your anticipation for
that show. It's always literally the biggest show uh in town.
So uh before we take the last break for the
third quarter, when we come back, we're going to talk
to you about Margie McMahon, the infamous local author who

(11:11):
wrote the most recent magnificently beautiful personal Painted Black about
l Black, the legendary Hall of Fame highwayman that we
lost on May twelfth and twenty twenty five this year.
So wow. Now I don't have Margie here. I didn't
want to put it on the spot. She's one of

(11:33):
the loveliest people, just a friendly All I can tell
you is the energy and energizer Bunny got there's lessons
from her, so.

Speaker 3 (11:45):
She never met a stranger. That's what my mom used
to say.

Speaker 2 (11:48):
Okay, yeah, she's a lovely, lovely woman, and I'm going
to give you a book review, but also my overall
review of what that woman went through to get this
book printed. We have no idea I've written book. Cindy,
you have or you've been there. So you know we
were talking about it's monumental. So we're going to take

(12:10):
our last break. We'll be back in a minute. This
is our Veterans Voice Radio today, the High Women, Collectibles
and our bookworms. I didn't realize we got all four
of the events. And by the way, I want to
tell everybody the study that was made here at Evergreen Media.
The number one topic that people really want to hear
about is the High Woman. Yeah, up until a couple

(12:33):
of years ago, is our veterans Voice. But I will
never turn my back on our veterans. I wear a
flag every day, daylight hours on my lapel. God there
has been good to me and to this country. We
may not be the perfect, but we are the best.

(12:53):
We'll be right back everyone.

Speaker 7 (12:55):
I'm doctor tim Anitas at Treasure Coast Dermatology. A Treasure
Coast Dermatology believe in the prevention and early detection of
skin cancer. We are medical doctors and we focus on
the medical aspects of dermatology. You don't need a sales
pitch for botox, collagen or wrinkle creams. You needed a
doctor that cares about you and the health of your skin.
We feel by not trying to do too much, we

(13:17):
can do more for our patients.

Your I text dollars are welcome and we're back on
art Red on Race Radio show. That is a good
liston as a marching tune. It sounds like I.

Speaker 2 (14:39):
Love all the marching tune, all the military song and
the only problem is that we're because of copyright, we
can't play them like we used to. But uh, I
think we'll now let me ask you for copyright. If
I got a musician to come here and play it
on the violin, oh yeah, I or singing with a whatever,

(15:01):
is that copyrighted because it's music, not even the lyrics.

Speaker 3 (15:05):
Their own original stuff is never going to be copyrighted.
But some of this stuff is copyrighted regardless of who
he plays.

Speaker 2 (15:12):
That because of the name, right, Yeah, yeah, Okay, well
you can okay, I'll tell you what. I'll give you
five bucks if you're singing songs.

Speaker 4 (15:19):
And yeah, everybody will turn the radio door.

Speaker 2 (15:22):
We don't want that.

Speaker 4 (15:23):
Yeah, we don't want that.

Speaker 2 (15:24):
Okay, so we're talking. We're gonna share a book with
you about the high woman. You know, periodically we do
the book work, but this is with my pleasure in
my art that I shared with you. The book is
called Painted Black, The Biography of L Black, Legendary High
Women Artists and salesman, salesman extraud and there by the way, Now,

(15:46):
obviously I've known Margie when she moved down here. I've
known now Black for sixteen years. Unfortunately we lost them
in May. We've had a numerous times at our gallery
for shows. I'd see him every year at Jet and yes,
he could literally and you wouldn't even know it. He

(16:06):
could talk to you out of your skirt of your
pants and return them to you gift rep and sell
them to you, and you'd pay more because you're happy
to buy it from how Black. He was terrific.

Speaker 1 (16:17):
He was.

Speaker 2 (16:18):
I mean, he had the gift, the gad and you
always had a special deal. Come here, put it down
around you and say I got a deal, come here,
let me show you. But when he did that, you
knew it was a campaign to sell. But he was
looking at you when he talked. He made you feel
like he's your friend. He made you feel like your

(16:38):
special How can you say no? Think about it? So anyway,
so Margie wrote this book. The book is called Painter Black,
self published, one hundred and fourteen pages. It's twenty twenty
five is the year. I'm gonna hopefully not discourage you,
but I have to tell you. It is seventy nine

(17:00):
dollars for the book. It's cheaper than other books. It's
more expensive than others, but the book is unique. It's hardcover,
it's coffee table size, in black and white and in color.
Lots of photographs, a lot of photographs of the people,
a lot of photographs of paintings, and it's a very

(17:21):
personal touch. The first book that was written by for
the Highwayman about the was Gary Monroe in two thousand
and one. A few years later, I think it was
twenty eleven or twenty seventeen, something like that. He also
wrote a book about the Al Black Murals in prison.
That book is out of print.

Speaker 4 (17:40):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (17:41):
They may have had five hundred books and that said that.

Speaker 4 (17:44):
Now it's out of print, and that's a big deal.

Speaker 3 (17:47):
Yeah, those murals from when they were incarcerated, and.

Speaker 2 (17:50):
You'll read all about them in this book. Marchie did
a beautiful book with the blessing of and the help
of Al before he passed away. So in a way,
this is like attributing memorial for Al Black, because I
don't even know how many days, how many hours, how

(18:13):
many miles Margie Marjorie McMahon traveled, and how many hours
of interviews and research, and how many hours of editing
and writing has been put in this book. So you
think about seventy nine dollars, I'm going to spend that
kind of money. She'll never make a penny on this book,

(18:35):
but this will be a book in history. This will
go down in the ane. Yeah. Because all the other
articles of books were about the business end of it,
the prison, the salesmanship, the high women art. This was
about Al Black, the person. What do you like to eat?
How we talked, what did he like to do, what

(18:55):
do you like for entertainment? How he felt about being
in prison, what he felt about the other highwomen. She
got a lot of this literally from Al Black's mouth.
She literally lived in this house, in and out every
I don't know how many times she's gone in Fort
Pierce to see him. So, Margie, first of all, number one,

(19:17):
I have to tell you, as an author, as a
host and of the bookworm, my utmost respect. You did
once supreme job of putting in and paper in publishing
a book that has meaning to it, not just bulk
but meaning, you have your heart in it. And I

(19:39):
highly admire you. I really respect for what you've done,
and you left a wonderful tribute to Al Black.

Speaker 3 (19:47):
Now talking about that Ralph with being the focus of
Al Black specifically, are there other books and the works
that Margie would consider doing focusing on other artists?

Speaker 2 (19:57):
Do we have been asked to do so? I would
be out of the line.

Speaker 4 (20:01):
To yeah, mention I didn't know, she said, was.

Speaker 2 (20:03):
Being very particular because honestly, other than the no the
fact that I did it, you know, I count climbed
them out across the bridge. She's not going to make
money in these things. And if he writed about somebody alive,
they may capitalize on it. And but you know, the

(20:24):
publishing costs of books nowadays is awfully high. So Hall
of Fame Highwayman. Al Black died May of twenty twenty
five this year he left a variety of legacies in
his personal and professional life. Several books I've told you
already have been written about al Black, but none in

(20:45):
other books were really I'm reading for my review. By
the way, none of the other books really examined his
personal life. They really didn't share his personal life. He
opened up to Margie, He opened up like he didn't
open up to any other author, articles or otherwise. And
the book they're captivating with his personal life. It is

(21:06):
not a documentary, but it is a Bay biography. Blessed
by l. Margie. The author traveled the state of Florida,
north west, south east, a little bit up to the ocean,
but a lot than Fort Pierce, a lot of AA Beach,
a lot the Treasure coasts.

Speaker 3 (21:28):
Did you say, Ralph specifically, why she targeted al Black?
That was the specific point of it.

Speaker 2 (21:34):
That's a good question. I do not know, other than
he was the king of the salesman.

Speaker 3 (21:39):
Okay, That's what I was thinking too, because he was
so unique history and everybody knew that about him.

Speaker 2 (21:44):
And he was only he was one of five left right,
and there was more available information about him than the
other four.

Speaker 4 (21:51):
Okay, So I was thinking the salesman. The salesman question.

Speaker 1 (21:57):
You know.

Speaker 2 (21:58):
Margie the author traveled all over this a lot of
the people that were involved in Al Black's life. She
interviewed all over. The anecdotes, the tears, the adventures, the
sadness of l are all beautifully and skillfully written. With

(22:18):
Al's blessing. Margie brought out Al's soul. And by the way,
the last show that we had with Al Black at
our gallery, the show's over, everyone's gone except the staff
and the family and a few collectors. And he goes
into his Bible biblical mode, and he quotes the Bible,

(22:40):
and he's singing some of the Bible, and he talks
about what life's all about. And we got to know
him that day in half an hour, better than we
did for god knows how many years. So I highly
recommend that you buy the book Painted Black. Now where
you're going to get it, it's not the stores. The
best thing we have purchased a few copies at seventy

(23:03):
nine dollars plus sales tax. They are available at our
gallery for the same seventy nine dollars and our galleries
eighteen seventy two Commerce Avenue, and that's every Saturday open
ten to three. Call me and if we need more books,
let me know. I'm in touch with Margie on the

(23:25):
literally regular basis. So, Margie, if you could get a
Mini pullser Prize for writing a book, you got the
Oco pullser Prize. I'm proud of you, and proud also
the people that helped you with the book. And what
can I tell you the other day now we talked
to you about Hot and Cold of collectibles, and we've

(23:49):
talked to you about their forthcoming shows. And at this
point we want to literally think not just your sponsors,
did you've heard out the hour, but also the High
Women Art Gallery in eighteen seventy two Commerce Avenue in
Fort Pierce, in Vero Beach. We're there for you. Call

(24:12):
if you have any questions, if you need advice, it's free.
