Artist Robert Hummel shares his video of his painting scene one of "The Battle At Grovers Mill"
Artist Robert Hummel, a former artist with the Macy's parade studio in the 1990s creates luminous paintings in and around Princeton New Jersey www.PrincetonArtImpressions.com . Grovers Mill not far down the road form the beautiful University town was made famous in 1938 when Orson Welles and the "Mercury Theater On The Air" chose this innocent farming town as its subject for a Martian landing in an adapted version of the H G Wells classic WAR OF THE WORLDS.
Turn up the volume and have a listen as musician extraordinaire Kip Rosser performs on a Theramin instrument to create this unique eerie Martian music that goes so well with Artist Hummel's painting.

Never hear the original broadcast? Here is your chance. Sit back relax, close your eyes, listen and imagine what you would have done on that 1938 Halloween eve. Grovers Mill New Jersey under attack by creatures from Mars, with tripod legs, machine like, tentacles and ray beams setting everything and anyone on fire. Don't ever miss a chance to hear a live reenactment by radio clubs such as those annually at the Grovers Mill Coffee House in West Windsor NJ, just down the road from were the ficticious Martians were said to have have first landed. Visit the nearby Grovers Mill barn and old mill down the road or the Van Nest Park to see the broadcast memorial.
