Mary and her ukulele, hails all the way from Provincetown, Cape Cod, Mass, where she appears regularly at the Coffee House sessions at The Mews Restaurant.
Her soft melodious voice, the twinkle in her eye and her humorous lyrics had the audience silent and riveted.
Then she had them to join in with an audience participation song written originally for kids, “Where have all the Beluga Whales gone?”
Fortunately for everyone, the song ended when we got down to where have all the “Bladder Flies” gone!

Thanks. Kevin don’t stay upstairs, come down and play out with us more often!

Glenda Pezula and David Rooklin

In Davids’ words.
We play Bossa Nova, classic Brazilian Jazz, written in the 1950′s, which feature deep melodies and rhythmic guitar.
Glenda is a Cuban born singer and we learned this style together while living in Miami. We strive to carry on the profound legacy of this brilliant and heart-breaking music.
