Friday May 26th, marks the spring season finale at the Sunapee Coffeehouse, with a concert by a forever favorite singer, song writer and artist, Tom Pirozzoli.
Tom Pirozzoli is well known, much respected on the New England and on the national music scene. Tom's songs have been recorded by artists as varied as Tonto's Big Idea, Willy Porter, and Pam Prior. His co- writes with Willy Porter have been performed in Carnegie Hall, at Madison Square Garden and The Royal Albert Hall. Original songs recorded by Tom in the 1980's with the Fast Folk Music Magazine (New York) are in the Smithsonian collection. Tom's skills as a performer and singer-songwriter were honored by Musician Magazine as a winner in their "Best Unsigned Band" contest.
"Pirozzoli offers a vision of the exotic places he visits and straight from the heat sentiment through his songs… a low enchanting voice and a prolific knack for writing lyrics." — NH Seacoast

Sunday, May 28 , 9 to noon at Harborside Trading Co. in Sunapee Harbor
Artist Spotlight - Dianne Jarvis, local artist
Artist will be demonstrating how to make sea glass and stone artwork. Dianne lives in Sunapee and works as a full-time nurse. Mother to three grown children left her with a lot of time on her hands. During Covid, Dianne wanted a change from her hobby of oil painting. Having collected sea glass found in Florida, Maine, New Hampshire, Hawaii, and Aruba, she began putting the pieces together in frames. Her friends bought her art, then giving over their collections of sea glass! When glass ran low, Dianne started tumbling her own glass and pottery. Now she has added unique stones to her designs. You can find Dianne on Facebook and Instagram under Inspirations by Dianne, LLC.

In Flanders Fields
BY JOHN MCCRAE
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie,
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

On this Memorial Day, John F. Kennedy’s quote is most apropos:
“As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them”.
