Choate Rosemary Hall

Choate Rosemary Hall is a private, co-educational, college-preparatory boarding school in Wallingford, Connecticut, United States. Founded in 1890, it took its present name and began a co-educational system with the 1971 merger of The Choate School for boys and Rosemary Hall for girls.

I did this quick sketch while listening to a spoken word and music session.

I have mountains of sketches like this which were never signed or shared online, so I will slip one in once in a while to lighten up the daily feed.

This was sketched pre-pandemic when it was nice to sit in an intimate enclosed space and enjoy the music. I wrote Nancy and Caroline’s names on the sketch probably with the idea of sharing it with them later but I never got around to it. It was just filed away like every other sketch.

In related news, Joni Mitchell is removing her music from Spotify following in the footsteps of Neal Young. They are protesting the platform that supports the misinformation of podcaster Joey Rogan. I am thankful that artists have begun to stand up and take a stand against misinformation which is killing Americans.

If more artists take a stand then streaming platforms like Spotify will eventually have to take notice, or eventually we will face a world of silence and conspiracy theories. Somewhere in my mountains of sketches I found several sketches done at a Simon and Garfunkel performance in Central Park in New York City on August 15, 1991.
