I just wanted to say what a grat time was had at The China Sea Marine Trading Company last night. As our congenial host mentioned, It's rare to get a group of shantymen/women together without even a fight or breaking anything. It was also great to put faces to some of the 'catters I haven't had the pleasure to meet. I still have Kendall's voice ringing Patrick Spenser in my ears(or is it the various ship bells we were ringing during Strike the Bell? Edmund, I'd love the words and music to that french song if you would like to post them.
