Thanks for the heads up. I've posted a message with info about the Chantey Blast, the Sea Music Festival, and the Old Songs festival to the NE_ChanteySings Yahoo group, I also posted the Chantey blast and the festivals on the NE_ChanteySings Yahoo group calendar. In addition, I posted messages to many Facebook chantey, traditional music, and pub sing groups with info about these events.

I'm sure we know each other since I've been going to the Sea Music Festival and Old Songs for over 20 years. I've also been a semi-regular at the Press Room Chantey Sing and the Portsmouth Maritime Folk Festival for the last 3 or 4 years.

My mundane name is Bill Lehrman. If you don't mind my asking, what is yours?

By your Mud Cat handle, I assume you are interested in Chanteys and Sea Music. If you are, and you aren't already a member, you should think about joining the Yahoo group NE_ChanteySings (http://www.nechanteysings.com/). This group has a calendar with Maritime singing events up and down the Eastern Seaboard.

Regards,

Bill (Trad Folkie)
