Bat Goddess February Press Room [NH] Shanty Sing (10) RE: February Press Room [NH] Shanty Sing 20 Feb 17


Well, how about day after tomorrow?

The crew was me, Emery Hutchins, Bill & Gina Dunlap, Mike Modern, Don Hale, Ranger1 & Jason, Gail Finn and Amanda who came in later, Bruce MacIntyre, Chris Vaughan & Amy, Jeff Warner, Lucas Duncan who also came in late, and our newest singer, Jake, who is stationed here in Portsmouth with the Coast Guard. Dave Johnson also came in to listen, and Lisa who last year asked me to sing a song for her Irish mother was here (and again asked me for the song).
