BIRTHDAY BASH AT TIERNAN'S IRISH PUB: FISHERMAN'S WHARF

Tiernan's Irish Pub; Fisherman's Wharf opposite Buena Vista overlooking the Cannery is THE place for a birthday bash Saturday nights. Irish-Italian stallion Terry Savastano (terrysavastano@aol.com)is from Oxford, England and entertains with his electric Martin D-18. He came "home" to San Francisco after hiatus on East Coast (Hilton Head; Sarasota) and lyrically "channels" the Beatles, Dylan, Paul Simon, Jim Croce, Sting, Irish, Scottish folk ballads. Terry sells his CDs (one had sold out; the other? "only 5,000 left for the other CD", he joked). Do you want to hear Norwegian Wood, Operator, The Boxer, or Billy Joel's "The Piano Man"? Laugh? Singalong? Have lots of fun at Fisherman's Wharf? He has the lyrical strummings of a virtuoso. He should. He's been fingering the guitar/piano ever since he was a wee laddie!

Sing us a song, you're the piano man/Sing us a song tonight.
'Cause we're all in the mood for a melody/You got us feeling alright!
La de da de de da!
The waitress is practising politics...we're all sharing a drink called loneliness but it's better than drinking alone...it's a pretty good crowd for a Saturday...the manager gives me a smile...to forget about life for a while.


The crowd roared! Terry is an charming geezer with wit, humor and the joie de vivre of a 12-year old. The boomer dude plays Saturdays nights circa 8:00 p.m. Check out this San Francisco musical treasure with a group of friends. Welcome back, Terry, you are a true blue gem! We love you!
