Wilfried, the place is called Guinan's (after Jim Guinan, the owner). It's in Garrison, NY, in a tiny little space that serves as both pub and general store, right by the train station that serves this tiny hamlet. I used to go regularly and was one of the musicians, but due to a rather more hectic life than would be my ideal, I haven't been for quite a long time now. But when I was going, the musicians were a friendly, motley lot, with a big range, from beginners just learning their instruments and the tunes all the way to some pretty famous, hugely talented folk. Mr. Guinan is a hospitable landlord, and the session is always held the first Thursday after the full moon. In fact, a friend and I were just wondering if we could manage a visit this very Thursday. If we go, I'll give you an update.
