NORTH OF BOSTON * SORRY MUSIC * SEPTEMBER 6th.
"Sorry" is a four member folk rock group who come together for the love of playing music and the enjoyment of each other’s company. The group consists of Allison Scobie lead vocals, Paul Egan drums, Phil Fleisher guitar vocals, Peter Miller guitar vocals and harmonica. The majority of the songs are original compositions with a few selected covers done in the "Sorry" style.
Each member of the band is a professional person with a family. They are two social workers, an architect and a member who is in publishing in the group. Our dreams no longer center on fame or fortune just the opportunity to pursue a creative endeavor outside of our usual roles and responsibilities. For us, the group is a shared space like a sandbox for grown ups where we play with guitars instead of shovels, drums in lieu of pails in order to pursue our own sense of serious fun.
Our name derives simply from the good manners we learned from our parents and teachers. When we practice and someone makes an error the person responsible more often than not murmurs an apology into the microphone. Hence, we became, "Sorry" with the hope being that after hearing our music the listener will be anything but…

Honeymoon Adventure at the Seaward Inn
Dawn had not yet broken when a young couple, staying at the Seaward Inn for their Honeymoon ventured out for a walk on Cape Hedge Beach.They maneuvered around large rocks, strewn onto the ramp as if nothing more than small pebbles...a reminder of the ocean's ferocity.
Emerging daylight unveiled nearby lobster boats tending their pots. Screeching seagulls circled around demanding any old bait being thrown overboard. In the distance tuna boats could be seen cruising by for a day at sea.
Kicking off their shoes the couple ran barefoot to the low tide mark and began walking the beach. They turned over rocks discovering small marine life and different forms of seaweed. Perhaps what attracted them most were the many odd shaped and multi-hued pebbles in the sand. They compared each, delighting in their discoveries,reminiscent of children opening gifts at Christmas.
Wet sand massaged their feet as they weaved in and out of the gentle, very cold, ocean waves. The salty sweet aroma of the sea permeated the air, adding to the rich adventure of their morning. Despite their fun, the invigorating morning had begun to take it's toll...they were starving! The fear of missing Seaward Inn's fabulous destination breakfast made them come to an abrupt stop. Laughing at the resemblance of their grumbling stomachs to the seagulls angry demands for food, they quickly turned and headed back. THEY DID NOT WANT TO MISS BREAKFAST AT THE SEAWARD INN'S SEA GARDEN RESTAURANT!
Still scanning for unusual stones, they began a slow jog back. As they neared the ramp, they saw something sparkle at the waters edge. Racing to pick it up, they discovered a very special charcoal colored pebble with speckles throughout, perfectly shaped as a HEART! They were awestruck. What a treasure!
Bubbling with excitement, they returned to the Inn where they shared their experience with other guests, while enjoying a hearty and well deserved breakfast. The experience, and of course,nature's gift, the heart, were treasures; souvenirs unlike any other, from their honeymoon at the Seaward Inn.
