Sunday Brunch: Nov. 30: with Christine Baillargeon
Join us for Sunday Brunch, Nov. 30th from 9-noon. How blessed to have this Bridgton gem in our midst! Here is an expert from her website:
The Girl
Just a dreamer from California, inhabited early by the music, traveling the ready escape a beautiful melody provides…
a young girl lulled to sleep by the sweetly sung ballads of joni, carly, dylan and james… it is no wonder she picked up that guitar.
thus began the love of stringed instruments and the merciful diversion that saved her from lesser things… FMI: YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4eCfrjI6HTBVvRpj0BpEhg Website: https://ccbaillargeon.com/
