Dennis, my family is now in its 7th generation on Shelter Island. It has changed, of course, but it's better than the fashionable Hamptons and the newly-discovered North Fork.
Paul, that band you heard was the "South Ferry Band" so named because the members, when playing at the Corner Bar in Sag Harbor, had to leave at 1:30 am to catch the last boat back to the Island. When South Ferry Band played on Shelter Island, there was no curfew, and the band played on until 4 am. Lead singer and lead guitar Paul Shepherd; rhythm and steel guitar Chip Luddecke; bass Winston Roye; (Google him to see his remarkable career.) I was the drummer, by the way.
Hope you enjoyed the noise.
