Farewell to Dennisito

Dennis Wolfe Jr. had a last gig at BC’s Bar & Grill this past Sunday. It was a particularly bittersweet jam session as it was his last one for a while. He left the island on Tuesday, August 26th, 2008 to Parkersburg, West Virginia in the US, where he will be staying with family while he furthers his studies at the University of West Virginia. His true dream is to head to California once he is 18, where he will study sound engineering. We wish Dennisito the best of luck in his studies and his life in the US, and look forward to seeing him again on the island in the near future, perhaps for a good jam session for old time’s sake!

Who dat?

Many people have lived here all their lives and have seen so many changes over the years. The biggest changes are the many faces of the various people walking down the streets. All of a sudden, we don't know who we pass by on the street at all. So, every week we will introduce you to someone new: a friend, your neighbor, anyone walking down the street. Six questions will be answered, who they are, what they do here, where they come from, when they came and why they chose to live here, and a little extra fun question. Hope you like this fun feature!
