On the bill, Shay Black, Amelia Hogan, and The Jammy Dodgers.Tickets: #14 general, $12 park association members. Reservations: 415-561-6662, ext. 21, or [e-mail].

SHAY BLACK is the elder brother of Ireland's "first family of song," the Black Family. Shay sang with Stan Hugill in Liverpool's legendary shanty group Stormalong John, and the Irish bsnd Garva before settling in the San Francisco Bay Area.He tours with family members Mary, Frances, Michael and Martin, and hosts a Sunday night Irish music and song session.

great news... on both counts!

Isn't it fun working for a pack of idiots!?! Most of them wouldn't last a year in civil service.. they require political patronage to survive.
