Subject: RE: May Shanty Session @ The Press Room (NH)
We certainly had a great time. I'm not sure how many people attended since several who were there early had to leave and several others showed up later. There were usually six of us leading songs. In no particular order: Tom and Linn, Dave, Emery, Chris, Jeri, JudyB, Bruce, Peter, Jeff, and Barbara. There's another fella whose name I'm not remembering.

The songs I led included:

Bully in the Alley
Mobile Bay (C. Fox Smith)
Bowling
Ballad of John Silver (Masefield)
Kewannee County (Craig Johnson)
Yangste River Shanty (Hamish Maclaren)

JudyB led:

Roll the Old Chariot
Common British Tars (Ron Baxter "Sailor Ron")

Cheerily,
Charley Noble
