Thanks for the memories Saturday night.
I felt as if I had been transported back 25 years as I sat in Shenanigan's and listened to the golden sounds of my good friends--those on stage and those in the audience.
I think when I get to heaven I will hear those happy songs everyday... That's why it will be heaven!
And hell would be, not being able to hear those happy songs.

Just wanted to let Malone know that us McDermott's will be at Shenigan's this Saturday. My brother Kevin is hoping you'll allow him to once again come on stage to sing Johnny Mac Adoo. He always says earlier in the night is better, as he'll having a fightin' chance at remembering the lyrics!

To Nancy Whiskey:

We will be at Shenanigan's next week - definitely on Saturday (and hopefully on Friday as well). June (of Twisted Sister Fame) knows who we are....hope to see you there. June can point us out to you.
'Can't believe it's almost August.
What WILL we do when winter comes again? We can't imagine the thought of it! Sooo...relax and enjoy The Boys and Shenanigan's the rest of the summer!

Just returned from a wedding in San Francisco (a mixed marriage - Boy/Girl). Weather was cool in the city, hills getting tougher to walk. We also spent time with my niece-godchild Shauna, who resides in San Francisco and is expecting a child any day now. This should make me a God Grand Father and I'm quite pleased with the concept.

Thanks so much to Ms. Whiskey and Jan for posting and to the entire crew that was at Shenanigans over the 4th of July. There will be some excitement next week when we return to Ocean City.
The Big News...
Red Rodio and his kid, Banjoe, will be appearing at least one night - The Kazoo Family Players will be putting in an appearance along with Dr Bill and who knows what other surprises may take place. We Just love the beach...

And to Mr Murphy who has the old vinyl 33rpm Malone and Hutch album: it is only 31 years old. Personally, I would hold on to it for another 19 years and you would be sure to maximize the value. Ask me about it then.

Nancy Whiskey - We never miss celebrating our anniversary at Shenanigans, will be there again this year - July 31st. Hope to see you!

The craic was great in the first week of July at Shenanigans. Most of the regular M&H crowd were there. The people you love. The people you hope every year to see. Makes life worthwhile. Not only The Boys, but Jim and Joan & Kerrie, The Twisted Sisters: June and Rosemary & Janice, Killer Bill and Sheila, Birthday Bob and Loraine, Pat McNamara('s Band) and Myra, Dr. Bill, Fran, The Kazoo family players ... It just doesn't get any better in life than that. I want to imagine heaven as a setting much like Shenanigans with us all there.
I would sure like to meet Jan and Michael, John and Kim, and Dave who post regularly on this site. Since we're die-hard fanatics, if we're in Shenanigans at the same time, we should sure get to know each other! Our next trip: Last week of July. Can't wait!
And again, Mr. Malone -- The Galway Shawl people are not going away.

Dear Mr. Bennett
As a long time fan of Hutch and Malone I have a vinyl copy of the white album,autographed by the "original" Gerry Malone,and Paul Hotchkiss.I was wondering what this amazing antique would bring on e bay?

"there's a little surprise for the long-time hard-core Malone fanciers over on the CD page."

Now we can make it! Thanks!

Hi John and Kim! Good of you to stop by. I can hardly wait to get to the beach myself, it's bound to be cooler than the 99 degrees we've been having here in New England. So to help us through these dog days, there's a little surprise for the long-time hard-core Malone fanciers over on the CD page.

We can't wait for July to see (and hear!) you guys! Happy Summer :)
Shenanigan's here we come!

Memorial Day comes early this year. It used to be called Decoration Day, and until 1971 was always on May 30, a date "chosen because it was not the anniversary of a battle." Here's a poem by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, first published in 1882.




Decoration Day

Sleep, comrades, sleep and rest
  On this Field of the Grounded Arms,
Where foes no more molest,
  Nor sentry's shot alarms! 

Ye have slept on the ground before,
  And started to your feet
At the cannon's sudden roar,
  Or the drum's redoubling beat. 

But in this camp of Death
  No sound your slumber breaks;
Here is no fevered breath,
  No wound that bleeds and aches. 

All is repose and peace,
  Untrampled lies the sod;
The shouts of battle cease,
  It is the Truce of God! 

Rest, comrades, rest and sleep!
  The thoughts of men shall be
As sentinels to keep
  Your rest from danger free. 

Your silent tents of green
  We deck with fragrant flowers;
Yours has the suffering been,
  The memory shall be ours. 

Hey Dan, great to hear from you! Bueller's not here (as usual -- he went out for cigarettes a few months ago, and we haven't heard from him since), so I'll have to answer for him. So you've decided to move back to Pittsburgh? I know it's just to be a little closer to Ocean City.

Boy! Do I know how to clear a room or what?! Bueller...? Bennett?? :)

I'd like to know the name of the photoshop expert that managed to image a respectable tie around Mr. Bennett's neck! Somehow, this crafty lad or lass figured out how to remove the warm glass of gin from his hands too!! Lots of love frome Loveland guys - hoping to see you this summer ... once we find a leash strong enough for Big Guy!

The Guinness was flowing this weekend at Shenanigans, and Mike made some darn tasty stew. All that was missing was our Boys, and missed they were! So to Malone and the Lads and to all who love them, a blessed St. Patrick's Day. And with the "drowning of the shamrock" start counting the days until summer.

Happy St. Patrick's Day to all. Here is a list of inventions, handy gadgets that might help one to cope with the celebrations.

In the calm before St. Patrick's Day weekend, I'd like to wish everyone, and especially Dr. Kazoo aka The Math Dude, a happy Pi Day! A good day for something round. Pizza, anyone?

The first sign of spring has arrived.
There were workers at Shenanigan's this past weekend!

It's been a long winter. Shenanigan's
in Ocean City, Maryland from Tuesday, July 29 through Saturday, August 2 is the only thing that gets us through: MALONE & the LADS. See you then! Missouri

Happy New Year Malone and the Lads!
2 Months until St. Patricks's day.
