The lineup for this year's festival sounds wonderful.

The east-coast group "The Johnson Girls" are a real treat and I'm sure will be a bit hit here. Danny and Joyce McLeod, who I have not seen in a few years, are as fine a pair of English singers as you could want. Of course, it's also an opportunity to cavort with all the great local sea music singers in the SF Bay Area mentioned in Chanteyranger's first post in this thread. And a time to welcome back our old friend Revell Carr (Revell ran the chantey sings at Hyde Street Pier just before Peter took over).

I can't help but think of John Roberts who performed at last year's festival. He's undergoing by-pass surgery and I wish him a speedy recovery.
