The monthly sea shanty, forebitter, and ballad session will take place this Saturday, May 19, at The Press Room on Daniel Street in Portsmouth, NH from 3:30 to 7:30 PM.

Tom and I are really looking forward to it because, due to Tom's broken ankle, my run-raggedness, combined with the session usurped by St. Pat's, this will be our first appearance at the shanty sing since February.

As most of you already know, Tom dislocated his ankle and broke his fibula on March 14th and only came home from rehab a week and a half ago. Tom finally made it to the Friday session last week for the first time in eight weeks. I'm hoping a couple strongish guys will show up a bit early (before 3:30) to help me lift Tom and his wheelchair up that granite step and into The Press Room.

I also really hope to see a couple people we haven't seen for awhile -- there are so many of them.
