Lost Pint to Close Out Southampton Days
Making their Southampton Days debut, Lost Pint will take charge of the Midway Stage from 8:30 to 10 p.m. on Saturday, July 9th.
They’ll be the final band to play, closing down the six day festival. Front man, Shawn Byrne, is pretty excited for the opportunity.
“We’re all from either Bucks or Montgomery County,” said Byrne. “Each of us go [to Southampton Days] every year with our families—go on the rides and all that stuff. A lot of our families are in Southampton. It’s something that’s been a long time coming.”
The band, which consists of Byrne on lead vocals and rhythm guitar, Ray Crawford on lead guitar and vocals, Brian Spear on bass and guitar, and Tom Cashman on drums, recently celebrated their three-year anniversary on June 27.
Over those three years they’ve been playing all throughout Bucks County area and the surrounding areas. They gig at Dave and Buster’s on Delaware Avenue twice a year and at the Red Rooster just as often.
“We try to play every other weekend,” said Byrne. “We really all just love playing music. It’s our therapy, our release.”
Covering a mix of modern and classic rock music, the band's website lists a myriad of artists whose tunes are locked into the group’s repertoire. Weezer and Elvis, Radiohead and Johnny Cash – pretty much nothing is off limits for the band.
“We feel we are in a nice spot,” said Byrne. “We don’t play just one certain genre of music. With all of our backgrounds and influences, we have a very nice and unique mix.”
For Byrne and Lost Pint , the greatest satisfaction they derive from their gigs is seeing their fans out in the crowd, dancing and singing along with the band.
“We feed off the energy from the crowd,” said Byrne. “The more fun we see them having, the more fun it is for us to play.”
Byrne and his band mates go a bit further than most groups in their appreciation. They make a concerted effort to not take things for granted - in the last three years alone they’ve given out more than 300 t-shirts to people coming out to their shows.
“We always interact with the fans,” Byrne said. “Between sets, after a show, through social networking sites, even out on the streets. They are the reason we’re here. We appreciate every single person that comes out to see us.

The Other Six Days - Reform Judaism
By Art Grand
I loved Debbie's piece . But for me, Jewish time is also about the six days of the week. Rabbis and cantors spend six days a week doing sacred work, with Shabbat as the crowning day of the week. But what about the rest of us? How are we meant to spend our weeks? This is what I wrote in a guest sermon last Friday:
This week's Torah portion tells the story of Korach, an Israelite who staged a rebellion against Moses, demanding that all of the people be given roles as priests. According to tradition, Korach was a demagogue. But ultimately, Korach's rebellion may have been a struggle over the meaning of a single Hebrew word: avodah in a different context, to describe the work of the priests and the Levites in offering and preparing the sacrifices.
These two different contexts leave Korach (and us) with a question. What is the work that we're supposed to do during the six days of the week? If the priests and the Levites spend the week offering sacrifices serving God, what's left for the rest of us? Our day jobs, to be sure. But what about the real work, the work of building community, finding meaning, and getting closer to God?
For our ancestors, Jewish life was about the twin pillars of service and sacrifice. For them, the sacrifices were a way of throwing off their complacency and finding their place in the world. As Rabbi Jonathan Sacks, the Chief Rabbi of Great Britain writes:
How do we come closer to God? By an act of renunciation; of giving something back. The sacrifices of the Biblical age were a way in which an individual or the nation as a whole, in effect said: what we have, God, is really yours. To give back to God is one of the most profound instincts of the soul. Doing so, we acknowledge the good things in our lives, and we acknowledge our dependency on God. We cast off the carapace of self-absorption and become a community. is a way of living in the world, of finding moments to be thankful, a way of seeing life not as an opportunity to take for ourselves, but as an opportunity to give back and an opportunity to help others. The rabbis taught that we should pray three times a day. From the moment we wake up, we are to look for reasons to be thankful - for opening our eyes, for the ability to stand up. And we are to remind ourselves of the acts that make life meaningful - comforting the mourner, visiting the sick, rejoicing at each other's simchas. And then we are to spend the rest of the day living those values. Like our earliest ancestors, we are to sacrifice the things that are hardest to give up: our time, our complacency, our sense that we can live without the help of others.
