Last night we received a visit from McSalty and his “mom”… You can see his video on our Jovial Vids page.

This coming Monday, 1 April, we will have the appearance of the press gang – er, I mean recruitment drive for the Sailing Masters of 1812 Fifes & Drums.  They’ll pitch their cause at our first break of the evening.

Thank you all for coming down and celebrating with us!  Remember that we WILL NOT be performing at the Gris tonight, but we’ll be back on Monday the 25th.

The season is upon us… This Sunday the 10th we’ll be at Cafe Nine in New Haven during their “Parade Day” which is to say their St-Patrick’s Day parade.  We’ll be playing from 3 – 6p… A great way to see us closer to your home if you travel from that direction!  Come sing, come dance, bring your friends!

David Littlefield handed me this photo just the other day… of himself and our Vinnie Lang (sunglasses) playing the CT River Raft Race – July 1984 – as the “Distant Cousins”. Photo given by David Littlefield, photographer unknown.  Vinnie played an electric bass with us and is mostly the one responsible for us including you the audience in our laughs whereas before we would cover the mics and have the jokes between ourselves.  Talented guitarist and several other instruments.  Vinnie removed to Maine in around 1990 and died there in 1996.

And we’re back!  The usual schedule – show starts about 8p each Monday!  Great way to sing away your winter blues!

By now a traditional repost…   See you on Monday for OUR Christmas!

Oh Griswold Tree, Oh Griswold Tree
Upon the coal stove eternally.
Oh Griswold Tree, Oh Griswold Tree
A relic from antiquity
For Christmastide and St-Patrick’s spray
For Mother’s and for Groundhog Day
Oh Griswold Tree, Oh Griswold Tree
In every tap room photo be!
