Hank Dietle's Tavern

Hank Dietle’s has been a labor of love for fans of the county’s oldest licensed bar for many years, serving up cold beer and warm memories since the 1916 store reopened as Hank Dietle’s Tavern in 1950. As development pressures were wiping out history along the pike, longtime fan Tony Huniak took over in 1990 to keep our beloved bar going. When the Quarry House burned in 2015, Tony welcomed Rockabilly Saturday Night to a new venue on the pike, carving out space for dancing in a homey social setting that proved a perfect fit for fans of live roots &amp; retro music. After Hank Dietle’s suffered a devastating fire in February 2018, fans rallied again to save the irreplaceable roadhouse. Chantal “Kiti” Gartner set up a Go Fund Me website to help the out of work employees and teamed with Mark Segraves and others to organize a benefit concert to launch a reconstruction effort. Thanks to their tireless efforts and many fans who contributed, the roof was repaired, the porch rebuilt, critical electrical work done, and interior walls rebuilt. Building on their efforts, three devotees of the historic tavern, Tommy Bowes, Sarah Bonner, and Alan Kresse, along with Gina Cocco, Lisa White, and Tom Helf, teamed up to complete work on the interior, recreate our beloved “Hank Dietle’s Cold Beer” sign, and get the institution rolling again. All are long-time supporters of Maryland’s live music and dance scene—musicians, promoters and entrepreneurs dedicated to ensuring that Hank Dietle’s rides again.

Music and Lyrics by Cole Porter,&nbsp;Original Book by P.G. Wodehouse &amp; Guy Bolton&nbsp;and Howard Lindsay &amp; Russel Crouse


New Book by Timothy Crouse &amp; John Weidman
Anything Goes (2022 Revision) is a vibrant, dance-heavy version of Cole Porter's classic musical about romance and mistaken identities aboard the S.S. American, following stowaway Billy Crocker's quest to win heiress Hope Harcourt from her stuffy fiancé, with help from singer Reno Sweeney and gangster "Moonface" Martin, all set to iconic songs like "You're the Top" and the title track, with the 2022 revision updating the book for modern audiences and boosting its dance numbers. 
This version of Anything Goes was adapted from the 1987 Broadway revival, originally produced by Lincoln Center Theater.
ANYTHING GOES is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Tams-Witmark LLC.<a href="https://www.concordtheatricals.com" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">www.concordtheatricals.com</a>
The 2022/2021 revival of Anything Goes is generally considered appropriate for ages 10+ and often rated PG, offering a fun, tap-heavy, and witty romantic comedy. While it contains mild adult humor, innuendo, and references to alcohol/smoking typical of the 1930s setting, it lacks heavy violence or explicit scenes

The Name That Echoes: A Novel of Becoming&nbsp;by Kenneth Chivir Shenge Now Available on Amazon and Barnes &amp; Noble
ROCKVILLE, MD&nbsp;&mdash; Kenneth Chivir Shenge, a Nigerian-born author of Tiv heritage, announced the release of his debut novel,&nbsp;The Name That Echoes: A Novel of Becoming, now available in hardcover, paperback, and Kindle editions on Amazon and in eBook format on Barnes &amp; Noble. The audiobook edition is forthcoming.
The novel follows Alexander Terver Zever, a boy who is seven years old when the world he was born into vanishes. Raised in Comfortville, a community engineered for order, comfort, and quiet sufficiency, Alexander grows up within carefully maintained boundaries and unquestioned rules. Something in him resists. A name he cannot place. Fragments of memory that do not belong. A persistent sense that the life assigned to him is smaller than the one he was meant to live. What follows is not a story of sudden rebellion or dramatic escape. It is something slower and more costly: the gradual recovery of a self that was displaced before it was fully formed.
At the moral center of the novel stands a Tiv proverb: a person can be led so gradually away from his own path that, in time, he begins to call the wilderness home.
"I am Tiv, from Benue State, Nigeria," said Shenge. "That heritage is the foundation on which this story stands. But I wrote this book for anyone who has ever been led, gradually and almost imperceptibly, away from who they are, and who has had to find their way back. That journey belongs to no single person or people."
The Name That Echoes&nbsp;is literary fiction with a dystopian backbone, written with philosophical depth and emotional restraint. It draws on the oral traditions, moral frameworks, and cultural memory of the Tiv people of central Nigeria, while speaking to universal questions of identity, belonging, memory, and the slow cost of becoming.
The novel is published through Spines and is available through major online retailers. It carries BISAC classifications in Literary Fiction, African American and Black Fiction, and Coming of Age Fiction.
About the Author
Kenneth Chivir Shenge is a Nigerian-born author of Tiv heritage, writing from Rockville, Maryland. He holds a Ph.D. in Plant Pathology and a Master of Public Health, as well as a postgraduate diploma in Theology, and has served in Christian ministry for more than three decades. His scholarly discipline and his pastoral vocation share a common conviction: that how we understand ourselves determines how we live.&nbsp;The Name That Echoes&nbsp;is his debut novel. He is at work on his second. He is married to Mercy, and they have four children.
