Sit Downs And Sessions

"Chris and Edward sit down with Amy Curry, Director of Morris County Historical Society for a conversation in Acorn Hall in Morristown, New Jersey. Acorn Hall is named for the three hundred year old oak tree formerly standing on its property. Built in 1853 and remodeled in the Italian Villa style in 1860, it was home to the Schermerhorn and, later, the Crane-Hone families before becoming the headquarters of the Society in 1971."

"Chris, Edward, David and our new beer meister, Jonathan DeMenno sit down with Troy Reynard, owning partner of the newly established Two Rivers Brewing Company in Easton, Pennsylvania. It's open for business, as the brewing tools and appliances are being installed in anticipation of fine beer created on the premises. This home of the casual, yet elegant "gastropub" was once a notorious hotel from its beginnings in the 19th century throughout the period of Prohibition in the 20th."

"Chris, Edward and their friend, Don Garrido sit down with James Seward at the casual yet elegant Bowman's Tavern in Upper Makefield, Pennsylvania. James, along with his business partner and chef, Michael Livelsberger have recently adopted the iconic establishment and are pouring love and energy into its new life. We were privileged as well to enjoy some renditions of folk music gems played by James who is also a professional musician. The conversation and fellowship were arm despite meeting on a frosty morning during the installation of a brand new stove which entailed a brief disconnection of the propane heater."

"PartingGlassMedia interviews and enjoys a house concert with Pan-Celtic-Rock band, BARLEYJUICE."

"An rendition of A CHRISTMAS CAROL by Charles Dickens as performed by the Bleecker Street Players. The players gather in the studio of WDVR FM for an annual Christmas performance. "God bless us (and you) every one!"

"Chris, Edward, David sit down in David's home bar to reminisce and chew the holiday fat about the annual tradition of presenting a radio rendition of Charles Dickens' A CHRISTMAS CAROL. Every year for at least the past decade, The Bleecker Street Cafe, a show conceived to be a virtual coffee house on the air shutters the windows, heats up the "smoking bishop" and engages in an all out, free form romp through the pages of this iconic novel of redemption. Join Chris, Edward and David as they impart their transformation from show hosts and co-hosts into The Bleecker Street Players and wax in the remembrance of some other members and friends whom graced the yearly gathering of the troop."

"Chris and Edward sit down with owner, Frank Lyons and his daughter, Colleen to talk about the young woman's paranormal experiences in her father's newly renovated and reportedly haunted tavern called The Continental in Yardley, PA. The pub which was established in 1864 concealed a stop along the Underground Railroad for escaped slaves during that regretful period of our nation's history. It was also the scene of two murders over the course of its long operation. Stories which the staff tell about their own interaction with the mysterious are truly spine tingling and they certainly contrast with Colleen's matter of fact yet vivid description of her engagement with ghosts which is presented here. The eerie events she relates occurred several years ago when she was a very young child!"

"Chris, Edward, David and their friend, singer-songwriter Christian Roebling sit down with owner, James Cain to witness the birth of the Vault Brewing Company in Yardley, Pennsylvania. This new brewpub which sparkles within the walls of an old bank building is gorgeous in its aesthetic, unique in its conception and most certainly welcome in its community. The grand opening its gleaming vault door of is indeed cause for celebration!"

"Chris, Edward sit down with The Town Pants at the Celtic Classic Festival in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania for an interview. This lively, crowd-pleasing configuration combine Celtic tradition and contemporary originality to create a rousing heart pounding and foot thumping experience. The Town Pants consists of Duane and Dave Keogh - the founders of the feast, Aaron Chapman, Jim Kerins, Ed Croft and the aesthetically agreeable Darla Daniels."
