Shiny Lapel Trio

My wife and I and our good friends Pete and Casey, went to the Griswold INN 
in Essex two Tuesdays ago.   We also met fans Frank and Maria there.   I just 
wanted you all to know that we had a ball.   The Shiny Lapel Trio (plus one) is 
fabulous.   They do everything from Sinatra to Prima to Roy Orbison, with 
great arrangements, and lots of excitement.   It was a packed house, and we 
stayed till the end at 11PM.   They play every Tuesday from 8 to 11PM.   Get there 
early to get a seat.
