But Did She See The Zuiderzee?

From hither and yon:

--Narrows discovery Eilen Jewell just returned from a weeklong tour of Holland!  We remember when people couldn't pronounce her name!  Hey Eilen (and her great band), congrats on expanding your influence and for your successful record!  And while all being nice folks, too!  They all head back to Europe in mid-April, playing Spain, Holland, the UK and Ireland.

--Our personal favorite blogger festive living writes to note that there's a fundraiser to benefit New Orleans musicians that you might want to consider.  The Narrows features a lot of New Orleans acts, so we're kind of an outpost up north.  Visit the festive living blog for more info.  And a special tip of the Narrows cap to Lisa and Joe!

--The Drunk Stuntmen, with a new CD, return to the Narrows in June.  Details should be posted on www.ncfta.org very soon.

--Cheryl Wheeler also returning, except in October.

--Beatle roadie, business manager and close buddy Neil Aspinall died the other day.  The true "fifth Beatle."

--The Phoenix is having its Best Music Poll.  Narrows alums on the ballot: Maryann Rossoni, Zox, Barn Burning, Sasquatch & the Sick-a-Billys, Paul Geremia, Betty LaVette, Richard Thompson, and I think that's it.  www.bestmusicpoll.com.

--And speaking of polls, we urge you to vote for the Narrows in the RI Monthly Magazine poll. www.rimonthly.com.
