Next Pick:
Tales from the Tinker's Dam by Daniel Gabriel (MPR Feature)
The book may be obtained from a small publisher in St. Paul, Whistling Shade Press. It's also available through some local independent booksellers.
Here is what their web site says about this book: “You are about to set foot in The Tinker’s Dam, a Welsh country pub run (with a little luck and a dash of panache) by Irish proprietor Gerry Culhane. Whether the topic is rugby, singing coal miners, or Margo the barmaid’s current boyfriend, there’s always something afoot at The Dam.”
(See below for list of books read by club since inception.)
As always, everyone is invited. For more information, email David Conradi-Jones or call him at (651) 639-1688.
