Thread Name: Last Shanty Swap at China Sea-11/23 (Maine)
Subject: RE: Last Shanty Swap at China Sea-11/23 (Maine)
How about a "Packing Shanty", Charlie?

If anybody I know could come up with one (and a corker at that) on short notice, you be de MAN, Mate!

I'm looking forward to instigating some casual interaction between area "Folkies" and "Living Historians" (Reenactors)- and have a real good feeling that we're going to hit it off famously! Having hung out in both camps a bit, i continually discern a host of kindred spirits amongst both.

Although it's going to be sad to leave the Dana St. China Seas, between the many Friends and cohorts of Steve & Sharon, it is reasonable to expect an even brighter future for them as well as all of us in the area who revere and celebrate our rich Maritime heritage and traditions.

Despite my reputation as one of those oxymoronic "Conservative Folkies", this is one form of communalism I can enthusiastically support and get involved in!

We'll be looking forward to meeting and working with dear friends all next Month down at China Seas, Aye!
