Wincing Devil Do singarounds need someone to run them? (57* d) RE: Do singarounds need someone to run them? 22 Sep 03


I like the way our Chantey Sings are run at the Royal Mile & Annapolis (which I'm skipped last Thursday, thanks to #$%^*! Isabel). There is a MC (Master of Chanties) who starts it all of with the first song, explains the setup to newcomers (there are always newcomers) and directs the "Fickle Finger of Chantey Fate" around the room. Everybody is asked if they want to sing, request a song, or take a pass. At the Royal Mile, we usually get two laps around the room, but last month, we barely made it around once! In Annapolis, we get several laps.

The Alexandria Chantey Sing & Sail is a different kettle of fish. Smaller crowd, plus we have to actually to some sailor type work, haul lines, shift booms etc. You sing when the feeling comes upon you, and the engine isn't running.

Great fun!
