But NOT a chantey, foresooth!

We were honoured to have our old friend Bob VanKeirsbil appear tonight!  He seems to be doing well!

With hurricane Henri having largely passed us by, although some local damage and flooding has occurred, it appears that our regularly scheduled show will go on!  Hope to see you Monday night and be careful on the roads as things are being cleared away!

Sunday the 22d we’re fairly certain of Hurricane Henri.  How this will affect Monday night remains to be seen.  Please do call ahead before making the trip, just in case something or other should prevent our regular Monday night from happening.

Griswold Inn – 860.767.1776

On Monday the 5th there is an expectation of a larger than normal crowd.  So, the Gris has decided to move us into the back room, or “Covered Bridge Room”.  If you plan to have something to eat, you’ll want to make a reservation (860.767.1776).  Otherwise, the tap room will have our performance piped into it, and should you come into the back room, the usual rules apply: Be there FOR the music, not to talk over it, don’t get in the way of the wait staff, try not to hover over dinner guests, don’t take a chair until it is clear that it has been given up (dinner guest has left), &c, &c.

So good to be back!!  Full house and responsive, invested audience!  Missing Cliff and Tim but next week we should see Cliff and then Tim not too far in the future!  We were joined by Paul Elliott and Thomas Wolf and a few of our frequent friends… And we look forward to seeing you next time!

We’ve just heard from the Gris and, barring any setbacks in state rules, we’re returning to our regular venue on Monday, 24 May 2021!  That’s just shy of 4 weeks from today!  It looks as though we’ll be in the “Covered Bridge Room” for more space, and there MAY be limited numbers permitted in the room at any one time!  We’ll begin at 8p like old times.  If you’re not vaccinated or have a compromising medical condition, please use your head and consider waiting until we’re even further into safe waters.
