May 16: Boston Marathon bombing survivor Jeff Bauman plays a guitar signed by approximately 100 East End musicians and music lovers, and driven up to him earlier in the month by Donald Bracken. Ross Lilley delivered the Takamine acoustic guitar to Mr. Bauman while he was recovering from his wounds at Boston Medical Center. “He truly loved the guitar and it made him smile, big time,” Mr. Lilley reported. The gift idea was thought up by musician Bryan Downey and purchased at Crossroads Music in Amagansett.

The Ugly Couch Contest is officially over, the photos have been evaluated and a winner has been chosen.

Selecting a top pick was difficult, as the competition was tough for the first-ever contest, but an Ugliest Couch has been named. Congratulations to E. Fontana, whose torn up, ripped apart beige and white couch was truly a terrible sight to behold. The Fontana family will receive a $500 gift certificate from Hildreth’s to use toward the purchase of a new couch.
