In days long past there used to be a session in a local restaurant that kept 
a lobster tank in a dark and lonely corner of the main dining room. I 
always felt a little sorry for the poor* things that were living out their 
lives there. I don't know if our music reached them through the glass, 
but if it did, I hope it cheered them up a little. (*Poor = $65 a pound as

As the summer season on the Cape draws to a close (usually around mid-
October) , we have less and less daylight to work with (and traffic to contend

To commemorate the early 80's when there were lots of Irish kids working here on the Cape 
(and occasionally sleeping). A great crowd even if they did occasionally ruffle some local 
feathers. But I think even the cops liked them . . . great to be Irish! This title was borrowed 
from the Police Log in our local paper - I thought it was too good to pass up.

A malamute is a breed of "sled" dog that resembles a wolf. They also resemble 
the better-known huskies but are distinct in their physique and behavior. 
"Mals" are gentle and strong and more than a little bit independent. We shared 
our life with one for thirteen years, so we know! Believe it or not (and you 
probably shouldn't) they are also quite fond of set dancing and have learned 
over the years to compensate skilfully for the extra paws that most human set 
dancers don't have.

When you're playing outdoors and the temperature is about 40 degrees

that it didn't sound bad. Mark's a pretty fair fiddler, but more likely the

Cape Cod lost a great guy when Kenny McGilvray passed away in 2016. I 
don't have room here to go into all the reasons why so many folks loved him
 - suffice it to say that he will be sorely missed, not only by his family and 
many friends, but also by all the musicians and patrons of the Olde Inne, 
where he served so many years as greeter, maitre d', performer, and dispen-
ser of sincere Irish hospitality. It was truly a blessing to have known Kenny.

Musician and archivist Alan Morrisroe tells of a saying in his home county 
of Mayo that refers to anything noisy or discordant as "cat's melodeon" (only 
coincidentally the name of our local session group!). Alan - no mean melodeon 
player himself - obviously doesn't take any offense on behalf of his instrument. 
This tune was composed to commemorate all those box-playing felines of the 
County Mayo (note that any substitution of "malodorous" for "melodious" will 
NOT be viewed kindly by either Mr. Morrisroe or myself) .

"Monk's Park" in Manhattan was a session pub in the late 1970's when 
there still weren't a lot of them around. Locals and visitors provided a 
lot of great music there back in the day! The pub is long gone and if the 
building is still there, it's probably an ethnic restaurant of some sort. 
Pad thai chicken, anyone?

This is named for a most interesting Dublin hostelry of days gone by, located in the 
City Markets on George's Street. The owner, a good friend of my mother-in-law, was 
a Quaker lady, and it was for this reason that the "official" name of the place included 
the word "temperance", implying that you had to go elsewhere for a drink. There was 
usually ample evidence - most noticeably around the breakfast table -  that this require-
ment did not represent a huge imposition for many of Miss Breen's full-time residents. 
Miss Breen, her hotel, and all its denizens are part of Dublin's memories now - God be

Crows were considered highly intelligent, magically gifted creatures by the early 
Celts, and while I normally would never argue with such an opinion, I occasionally

Yikes!! They make ME sound good!
