DEMISE OF GREAT LOCAL LIVE VENUE:
The Stagecoach Inn, location of the Old Groton Open-Mic where Lee often performed, burned down on August 2nd. The historic 333-year old inn held many fond memories for local performers, where GS Picard held her popular Open-Mic series on Friday evenings. GS is now continuing the series at the Main Street Cafe in Groton.
