Tim,

Although I live in Massachusetts, if I was going to be in San Francisco this coming weekend I would make sure I attended the open chantey (shanty, shantey) sing at the San Francisco National Maritime Historic Park on Saturday, April 2. Let's see if I can make a link: click here.

You get to join dozens of San Franciscans (as well as the odd Londoner:0) in a historic tall ship singing traditional sea songs. If you see Ranger Peter, who usually runs the event, tell him Jerry Bryant sent you.

Have fun!

Jerry
