Heading for a workshop in Chesapeake tomorrow, I stopped into the only local I could find in Norfolk, VA. It's a friendly little place downtown called Mo and O'Malleys with live Irish music five nights a week. Tonight was singer Don Bunch's birthday, so he had a pretty good crowd, mostly friends and family, but nothing wrong with that. The stew was the bovine variety, so I opted for the bangers and mash, which was satisfying if not extraordinary. Washed down with a few pints of the brown, it served nicely to fill the void left from the drive down from DC. I stayed through the first set, then took my leave for an early night. Good times!
