Another nice thing I picked up at Getaway was Dave Diamond's songbook of outrageous parodies and commentaries on office life in Washington, D.C.
I knew that Diamond was a member of Boarding Party, one of the most influential sea music groups that have grqced this wide world. And I knew he did occasional satirical songs such as "The Folksinger's Lament" but I had no idea of all the other creative ditties he had composed.
There's also a "fake" CD included with the song book which demonstrates how some of the songs might be sung, sometimes with alternative lyrics! Very useful to those of us who are musically illiterate.
Dave and Barry did a fine job of coordinating the Sea Shanty Workshop. It was more sparsely attended than three years back but there were some excellent contributions.
