Subject: RE: Second Saturday Shanty Session (NH)
In case anyone's interested (since a couple people asked where I got the song), the lyrics to "The Luckiest Sailor" are here: http://www.mudcat.org/thread.cfm?threadid=35861#492452.
Author Linda Kelly (AKA Ickle Dorritt) posted the background in the same thread, here: http://www.mudcat.org/thread.cfm?threadid=35861#498747
Here's a MIDI

Dave, it was a pleasure to have you here and I hope you can make it again!

Some people say they're coming and don't show up, but I prefer Barry's version - saying he's not coming then just blowing through the door. It was my turn to sing when Barry showed up. I was thinking about what I wanted to do, when Tom saw him walking towards us and said "Barry, sing something!" Barry launched into a song about a second later, before he even sat down.
