Transatlantic thoughts

Hi Jerry and Marie, I was only telling folks here the other night about your barn and the number of great nights i had there. I was explaining how your house is a real "public house" in the traditional sense of the word. I have full confidence that Jerry will fly through the surgery and be...

memories

Ah sure t'was the summer of 2004 and a handsome young man from Dublin stood on the porch of the Beaver Island Historical Society, guitar in hand, knees shaking.
