Margo Goodman (left) and Soleil Kelly greatly enjoyed Peter Blackmore’s very fun solo show, Fabulous Light. The black light nature of his works recalled the 1960s, a sensation that was strengthened by his inclusion of late ’60s music by Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath and other bands of the era. David F.
