As this contemporary composition, Pepper-Men, from gallery artist Debra Thompson naturally held dominion over the Pepper exhibition, the accompanying music of the Sgt. Peppers Lonely Heart’s Club Band album that played over the gallery sound system, reminded those present of the seminal contribution of this 1967 moment in popular culture.

A few younger visitors unaware of the music, wondered who these men in the painting were. True. Typically, animated conversations with older visitors quickly ensued. Although now sold to an (obviously) avid Beatles fan, the music will play on.
