Mark, I hope, if you do the version collected by Mrs Alda Goldern-Day, you do NOT leave out the 53rd verse since it sort of ties up the whole song. The whole darned thing comes unraveled without that verse!

Seriously, Mark, can't wait to meet you. I've been perusing your songs in the DT and hope to hear a few.

Last night was a GREAT session (S.E.S.S.I.O.N.). There were sets of tunes that flowed, there was quite a long set of shanties that flowed - one started right after the other. I didn't notice any tension between players and singers. CET was here and did (amongst other) a nice, cheery dinnertime song, "The Twa Corbies." I hope everyone's voices still work today!
