If you happen to be in the area of Mystic Seaport during the festival (June12-14), you can catch the Buckingham Lining Bar Gang doing rail work to work songs the same way they did it back in the 50's before they retired & you can also catch the Northern Neck Shanty Singers doing their songs from the Carolina Manhaden fishing grounds, again the same way they did before they retired. These are probaly (aside from the Manhaden Chanteymen) the last of the work gangs doing the songs from their trades. Most other work gangs that sang have since died out, with the exception of convict gangs & the last I knew of their singing together was through the efforts of Allen Lomax presenting them at the Newport Folk Festival bach in the mid 60's.
