In music, there's nothing more disappointing than discovering a great new act only to learn the band is breaking up. And so it was last night in Lyman, Maine at the Funky Bow Brewery. The Wetsuits were rocking the plywood stage, their loyal fans were kicking up the dirt dance floor, dogs were howling and running about, and the Funky Bow tap masters were filling mason jars full of their finest. Outside the converted green house the temperature was -8, but the Funky Bow wood fired oven was working overtime and stoking our senses with the aroma of handcrafted pizza.
Good music. Great people. A warm hearth, with terrific handcrafted food and drink at arms length: What more could life offer? Perhaps a few more years with this band staying together?!
