Welcome to the newest Mariners, Marc Bernier and Keith Chomka.
Having ‘Crossed the Line’ and made their peace with Neptunus Rex (and his lovely wife Amphitrite) last week, they are no longer pollywogs, joining the ranks of that rare brotherhood of Mariners.
The first responsibility of every new Mariner is to enjoy (?) a Dog’s Nose, which they seem to be doing with great gusto. Congratulations!
A light autumn shower is good for the soul.
The bonfire is lit, Jack is lit, tunes are cutting through the grounds of the
Wayside Inn just as they have for three decades. Ahhh, life doesn’t get any better. Wish you were here.
This one goes back to July, but it was just recently posted to YouTube. It is not a very long video but at least you get a sense of how many guys we had on the street for Deep River.
Unlike Marty’s story, we don’t have any idea who those other guys are, or why that guy has that keyboard, but Massi has been proclaimed the “Finest Spoon Player Ever at Dooley’s.”
The barkeep was a little confused by Massi’s request for “wooden spoons” and replied in his best Boston, “Ya meen lahk sah-lad spuhns?”
You can see the metal soup spoon result of great moments in International communication.
Check it out. Our very own Marty Groody (aka, Marty Stalder) playing tunes (on the right) with his band Chris Morgan and the IR-REGULARS.
The picture is of them playing at Raglan Road, which is in the Disney Village Marketplace in Orlando, Florida. The fiddler is Colin Farrel from Grada. In Marty’s words:
Normally only ‘Imported Irish Bands play there. I believe we are one of the few ‘Yanks’ groups to play there. It is a great milestone for us ‘Yanks’!!
Mighty. Also, Chris Morgan and the IR-REGULARS are scheduled to do a live CD in November at a Seminole, Florida gig.
I found this picture today of our very own Noel Sherry sermonizing the virtues of the Mariners to Crystle Stewart, the reigning Miss USA. In his attempt to recruit her into the Mariners Noel promised to sponsor her. Very kind Noel, but do I have to remind you of our policy?
