songwriter's Circle

Various musicians participated in the afternoon. Here's Rick Reimer doing some of his raggae-rap tunes from his album "Killaloe Rastaman".

What a great way to spend a holiday Monday afternoon.

Sunshine also after this long winter.

Songwriter's Circle

And a week later, on the Easter Monday afternoon we had our first "Songwriter's Circle" with a talented group of musicians, young and old(er).

Here Clark Guettel, a founding member of the Wilno Express talks about his early songwriting days...when those great Wilno Express classics like The Wilno Hound were written.

Clark's early hit "Let it Rot" a tribute to composting is now more timely than ever.

Our local historian and raconteur Barney McCaffrey regales the audience with songs and stories of the Kashubs and the Celts.

He also played a few old favorites from the Wilno Express days...songs that will go down in history as local classics...The Breeding of the Pig...The Wilno Hound...Mrs Recoskie's Waltz and others of such note.

Kashub-Celtic Day

And this was the green scene at our first "Kashub-Celtic" celebration with Barney McCaffrey telling the tales of the Celtic migrations through Europe.

The menu featured colcannon and corned beef and Polish sausage and red cabbage. Lots of fun!!

Red Hatter lunch at cafe

We re-opened for the season with a lunch for the Barry's Bay Belles, resplendent in their finest Red Hatter attire. February has never been so lively before!!!
