Melvyn's Bar at the Ingleside Inn Sunday Jam Session

Great fun and to be in a place where so many of the "greats" were. It really is a time warp and although young and old...mainly old. So charming to see Matt, the Maitre D', escort on his arm, some of these ancient old dears who could barely walk to their reserved table. Jim got talking to a "regular" who was seated beside us and learned various things about the band...sax player (who is amazing) very rich and just doing it for fun, drummer needing the money, etc. Their table was set up with drinks when we arrived and before their arrival...large white wine for him and two 1/4 bottles of champagne in a bucket for her. She went through two more while we were there for a total of four. There was still another set to go. It almost seemed like a social club with so many people knowing each other.

And having fond memories of the Sunday endless Champagne Brunch Roger and Kerry treated us to when they were in town one year and staying at The Ingleside.
