On a somber day in May 2020, we lost one of our beloved backroom Captains Bertrand Martenville to Covid. NYC was in the front line, held hostage by fear of the unknown. We were shut down indefinitely. "52nd Swing Street" lost its beat with silence filling our ghost town. It was during the darkest of nights when looters ransacked Madison Avenue that The Buster Frog Trio came into existence.  The audition went on, the band was born. Flowers and food could not suffice to heal all our wounds. It was with live music and show that a most unexpected magical trinity of blues, bubbly and blooms came to life at La Grenouille.

 

The cynicism of few could not dissuade the encouragements received, notably from " America's Poet" Mr. Steve DePass, Miss Judy Collins and especially a prominent businessman who believed in the voice, guitar and performance that I displayed on a nightly basis and insisting that a stage and sound system be added to our dining room. As a flight formation missing a wing, we removed all the tables from Bertrand's station honoring his memory and all of those we lost during the darkest days.
