Brigadoon in Ocean Grove

Every year, the day after Labor Day, it feels like we are getting our town back.  It’s almost like magic, because it is so less congested—many hundreds of cars and people simply vanish.

It reminds me of the show Brigadoon where a small town in Scotland vanishes and then reappears, albeit, every one hundred years.

Here is a song from that original Broadway cast with Shirley Jones and Jack Cassidy, selected by Eileen who loves Brigadoon.  “The Heather on the Hill.”

Of course, we have Rosa Rugosa on the dunes.

    Shirley Jones, in my opinion, of all the Broadway singers had the clearest and the most beautiful voice.

    For those of us leaving it is sad, sad, sad. See you next Spring.

    I think I dated Rosa once.
