Where We've Been

Covington Inn - Bed & Breakfast

Many's the hour The Eddies have spent singing on the

We are The Eddies on the River.

What We Were

The Eddies used to be a Book Club. All of us are still avid readers, but we no longer meet to discuss books. When we were a Book Club, we always (always) met in bars. And we learned a few sea shanties. Then things got out of hand.

The book club is called the Sidney Bidwell Literary Society, for reasons too complicated to explain here. See FAQ.

According to some people, we also used to be younger, thinner, smarter and more handsome. Hard to believe, isn't it?
