PART 2 – MORE FILLING IN THE MAP IN CONNECTICUT – 7-9 AUGUST 2018

HISTORY and ROCKS — 22 and 23 JUNE 2018
A short quick post, because you could still go to my recommended “rock show” tomorrow, and if not tomorrow, put it on your “must do list” for next year. I still owe you my North Conway, and Red Lion Inn … Continue reading
