The Honeymoon, Part I: Adventures in Eastern Connecticut
Did you know that oysters were one of the first fast foods? Or that sea chanteys have roots in both Anglo and Caribbean music?

Yes, I know it’s the twenty-first century, ladies can do stuff now, etcetera, etcetera… And I realize that it’s the hands and the vocal chords making the music, not the genitals.
