As closing time approached and the crowd dwindled, Suzy and Jim Irwin had a chance to chat with Suffield’s popular cartoonist, Rick Stromoski, who offered his original art work at the SMS Christmas Boutique on December 12. Among other projects, Rick is now offering Andrew’s Journal, an online publication of “Special insights into a special little boy.” Remember Andrew in Soup2Nuts?

A Folk Song for the 350th
|
Lou Sorrentino of East Windsor was wandering as a minstrel through Suffield on the Green last September, singing with his guitar just for the pleasure of the experience, when Caroline D’Otreppe, a member of Suffield’s 350th Anniversary Committee, saw him and had an inspiration. She found that he enjoys entertaining, both for hire and volunteering, and he also occasionally writes ballads on demand.

Music for the Holidays
|
Many folks of a certain age may have owned a Walkman, but probably not an ear bud or two and they no longer spend much time with their hi-fi’s (if any such survive), but they still enjoy music. And when the December holiday season comes around, they delight in the opportunities in town to be part of great music.
