Subject: RE: Dec.Shanty+Session@The Press Room-NH
Ahoy all! It's been a while eh?

Was just in the cat to dig up some lyrics and thought Id check in.
If we didn't make the press room from Yarmouth we probably ain't gonna make it from up here in Monmouth (about half way between Lewiston & Augusta) where me relocated about 5 years ago. Love it up here, but there ain't much goin' on in the way of folk or sea music that I have been able to determine yet.

Have been kinda lazy with the music and letting it slip, but between being asked to do a Civil War period music gig for the local Historical society this fall and play a piece at a friend's funeral in August I had to dust off a couple of instruments - including the voice - and remembered how much I missed it.

Recently been digging out my collection of 19th century music and going through it, and investigating some Maine shape note singers.

Sounds like a few keels have been dragging over the bar down there - hope everybody is on the mend. How's ol' Kendall doing these days?

Miss you all, and wish the most abundant blessings of the season to you and your Beloved.

Strike the bell one time for me, won't ya?
