Feadan et al-
"Billy O'Shea" went over well and I'd certainly like to hear it again.
I certainly wasn't functioning on all cylinders but I'm happy I was there. I think we set a record for serially releasing three different versions of the old she-crab/crawfish/lobster.
There also were some nice instrumental accompaniment this time around, quiet and supportive.
And, alas, the airconditioner is back in full force, eating up the vocals.
Jeri-
Was that "Warlike Seamen" that you and Jeff Warner were doing such a nice job singing?
I think I'll try reviving some of the old Bob Roberts (last of the sailing barge skippes) sea songs I used to lead, such as "The Worst Old Ship (Waiting for the Day)."
Cheerily,
Charley Noble
