Thread Name: July Shanty Session @The Press Room (NH)
Subject: RE: July Shanty Session @The Press Room (NH)
Comparatively small group at the session today, but a delightful bunch of voices and songs. Not going to even begin to set down the list.

Lynn Feingold, the Tavern Wench, made it back to the session -- haven't seen (or heard) her in several years. Four Shillings Short called before we left for the Press Room to say they were being dragged off to Newburyport before their gig at Elysium Arts in Rollinsford tonight, so would miss the session. Annie Storr's son, Jesse Greer, led a few songs. And Jeff Warner was at long last back from his English tour and sang the songs he did on the recent CD "Short Sharp Shanties: Sea Songs of a Watchet Sailor" (volume 1). And Marty...we haven't seen Marty for a few weeks and he, too, was back.

Good company, good beer, good music.

More later. I'm going to check how the photos came out and go to bed -- gotta work tomorrow.
