Small Town Baltimore: An Album of Memories
Gilbert Sandler is our great rememberer.Small Town Baltimoreis an absolute delight—not only memories of distant times and vanished places but details that bring every corner of the old town back to life.(Baltimore Sun)This 'album of memories' guides us from Baltimore's distant past through the middle years to recollections of the 1950s and 60s. With vignettes and short stories, Gil Sandler affectionately brings out Baltimore's appealing provincialism and home-grown innocence.(Barry Levinson, Filmmaker)Baltimore has always been a sensory town full of color, smells, loudness, smooth jazz, jagged emotions and watery ways. Ethnic neighborhoods add to the excitement and cacophony of Baltimore.Small Town Baltimoregoes beyond the veneer of the Harbor and brings all the inner senses to light.(Camay Calloway Murphy (Cab Calloway's daughter), Executive Director of the Eubie Blake National Jazz Institute and Cultural Center, Baltimore, Maryland)
