Thanks for rereshing this, Kat! This was before I became a Mudcatter, so I never saw this thread before. I just want to correct a bit of info posted early on. The San francisco chantey sing was mentioned, stating that one has to reserve space the Thursday before the event. There is a music newsletter in the bay area that mistakenly printed that, so it's understandable that someone would post that info here. Actually, reservations for the chantey sing can be made up to an hour before it begins (begins at 8pm) by calling (415) 556-6435. Ok...carry on. Excuse the thread creep.chanteyranger
