Rockola for Sale

 

I don’t know how quickly Greg’s jukebox will sell, but I decided to pop over to Ballard Consignment sooner rather than later, just in case. I wanted to sketch it again, this time in situ (in situ in our own house somehow didn’t count). Displayed prominently near the entrance, the Rockola’s lighted “lava lamps” still rotated slowly (I posted a short video on Instagram). Next to it was a vintage gumball machine.

As I sketched, several store patrons came up to admire it. Ideal (for me) would be a buyer who puts it in a café or some other public space where I can visit occasionally. In any case, it was fun and bittersweet to sketch it one more time.

Rockola still rockin'!
