The session was well attended and another rafter rattler.

Relative newcomers Mark ryer and Peter Hale did many fine songs. Lynne Cullen, representing Maine provided a fine rendition of Long Lankin, which led to a short run af baby killing/maiming songs. Gloucester was present in the forms of Alexander, Gardi and George. George hasn't been for a long while, but made up for lost time with both shanties and forebitters. he allowed as he'll try to be back more often.

Longest time absenttee from the area, Chris Albrecht, here on a work induced vivit fro Munich was in fine voice as he dredged up words and music he hadn't been hanging out with for the past nine years.

may all your sessions be as good - Tom
