Hi Pelrad, At NEFFA (festival in Natick, Mass - see thread "Who's Going To NEFFA) there's about 10 maritime related workshops & quite a few that like to sing it. You might try nosing around. I'd be more than happy to introduce you to those you might not know, though my thought is that you may know your way about a good deal better than I. I'd say the Boston area would be your best bet, though it may still be a bit scarce for hooking up with others. I sometimes hear about some of the sea music gigs in the area (a bunch of us did a public concert from the deck of the Empire Sandy last yr & was a blast - Lynn Noel was responsible for that one) & will update you if I hear of something. Anyway let me know if I can help. Barry
