Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

Sarah Swain and the Oh Boys


Sarah and the band played for my birthday party on Cape Cod in August. I've known their music for years since they play at The Pearl in Wellfleet regularly. A Cape Cod band mainly.


They like playing rockabilly, but also all sorts of things. Well, they are just plain upbeat and delightful.


Oh yeah - I did not give them a playlist except that they did learn Maggie's Farm as a favor for me. Good job.


Despite the raw bar, lobsters, etc, the band made a party a real party. Sarah Swain and the Oh Boys


Mrs. BD knows how to throw a party. Sad that Oprah and Barack did not respond.

Barack's reason for turning down the invitation: 'I mean, I do think at a certain point you've listened to enough music.'

Well..... Happy Bird-Day Bird Dog.

My wife did something similar for my 50th some years ago. We had a Calypsonian with his guitar wandering around table to table. His talent was ex-tempo, the Calypso where they make up a tune as they go along, on any subject. It requires rhyming ability and sharp wits, both of which he had in abundance, and a little gentle roasting. Great fun.
