In Ocean City for St. Patrick's Day. Our timing was dismal to get into Shenanigans -- we never had a shot at sitting inside, so we had to eat on the porch. Still, the fish and chips were delightful and the Guinness was cold. Missing our Boys of Summer. I hope everyone had a nice St. Patrick's Day. Hope to see you all soon.

Mason's gang: we wish you were in Ct. also, but the time will come...
John Morrow, You have a real job and also a pub in Watervliet and it's called McIntyres. Go figure. It was great to see your almost entire clan in Holyoke yesterday. An outstanding surprise.

Our few remaining gigs before We attempt to wrest control of our website are at

Malone,
It was great to see you today, Dad and the clan were real happy to see you as well and we are all looking forward to seeing you soon in NY. You need to come up and drink the Guinness and play a few tunes at McIntyre's Pub. The website is mcintyrespubny.com

Keep in touch!

Wishing we were in CT this week.
Hope everyone has a great St Patrick's Day!

So sorry to hear of Mr. Bennett's passing. We were in OC last week and with St. Patrick's Day fast approaching we could not stop thinking about you all. We are visiting "up north" early this summer and hope to possibly catch a show. We Miss You in Maryland! Be well.

Thanks for posting the schedule - we hope to make one of the dates.

Hi folks,
It appears that Jack has worked out the kinks to post the March schedule. It was well beyond the capability of the remaining band guys. Thanks, Jack.

Just click on the link in the previous post and, magically, the schedule will appear.

I wonder if we can get a link to take here:

You can get the schedule now by typing this into your browser: http://wepecket.ipower.com/maloneandhutchcalendar.htm

Hello, there!

I have not been able to write an obit for our friend Mr Bennet or post a March schedule up until now due to lack of words and lack of prowess with HTML. I have always sent entries for the Schedule and News sections of the website to our Webmeister, Mr B., and he posted them. Not possible anymore.

For the record, until we have solved the technical problems, I will be posting the March Schedule here on the talk board in the next couple of days. I also want to thank all of you who posted on the board or sent cards to Bertie and Marianne or called or sent mail to John and me expressing your heartfelt condolences. Your friendship at this time is appreciated more than you know.
God Bless. Malone

R.I.P. Mr. Bennett

Wishing a Happy New Year to all.

Look out your window tonight. There is a new star shining in the heavens. Mr. Bennett is playing with the angels these days, and the saints are dancing to his mandolin.

When hearing the news of Mr Bennett I was immediately saddened with sorrow. As the day passed I began thinking of the past years being in OC and sharing in his company an music. There were many fun, joyous and often hilarous memories he was part of and often created with his talents and wit. There is an old saying that ends "And the smile thats worth the praises of earth, is the smile that shines through the tears."
As for the title of one of his favorite songs goes "there's a tear in my beer." There's one in mine now but I'm smiling through it because of those memories. Thanks Mr Bennett for sharing some of you life with me and letting me be part of yours. You will be greatly missed.

This is very sad news. Our hearts are heavy and we send along our condolences and prayers.

This is indeed a sad day. Mr Bennett was one of the most unique people I've ever known, and the kids and I are better and richer for having him be a part of our lives. It was not only a joy but an honor to stand next to him on stage and have a man of his musical propensity regard me as a fellow musician and allow me to join in doing what he loved to do most. Jim was a great inspiration to Zack who has taken up playing all manners of stringed instruments in the footsteps of a man whose musicianship he admires. We have prayed for Jim, and we believe we did get one miracle, the chance to spend one more weekend with him this past summer. Olivia and I in our night prayers have asked that God watch over Mr Bennett, and I believe He has, and has now brought this troubadour much closer to Him, and perhaps will give Jim the opportunity to introduce a whole new audience to Waltzing with Bears. But for now, the Kazoo Family Players share in the tears of those who performed with and those who enjoyed the music of Mr Bennett.

Uncle Jim! Thinking of you, praying for you, remembering all of the wonderful joy and musical magic you brought into my life and those of others! I will always think about playing the banjo together at Granny's. Happy Thanksgiving, I am thankful for YOU! Love, Chrissy

Belayed Happy Veterans day to all

They don't play anywhere else in MD.
The play in CT in March and hopefully Shenaigans in MD next September.
Go see em... you'll never see anything like the boys again in this lifetime
