Subject: RE: Mystic Seaport Sea Music Festival
Nancy King was there, who kindly provided me the lyrics to "Sheep in the Deep" in an "Animals at Sea " thread. Of course I was on another mission and missed talking with her...

Don Sineti, the big fellow, is certainly one of my favorite singers. What a powerful voice!

A high point of the saturday night "Galley Sing" has to be Barry's intripid young friend who belted out 37 verses of "While Working on the Railway."

I arrived late for prime seating at the Galley but fortunately was invited by Press Room friends to join their table next to a WALL. What a relief to have something to project from in that environment of chaos. I have to admit once a strong singer got going people generally quieted down and then joined in with the chorus or refrain of the appropriate song. But you really have to be a strong singer and pick the right key or you'll soon find yourself experiencing "The impervious horrors of a leeward shore."

Ron, I saw at least two Mudcatters tastefully attired in Mudcat T-Shirts.

Cheerily,
Charley Noble
