Subject: RE: Dec. Shanty Session@the PressRoom (NH) From: GUEST,tony ricketts Date: 11 Mar 09 - 10:07 PM I'm trying to trace the Ex-Seamans Institute - a recording by them was played on a local (NZ) radio station, who can't find where they downloaded it from. It was Tom Bowling, written by Mr Dibden, usually thought of as a classical piece. Can anyone help please? |
Subject: RE: Dec. Shanty Session@the PressRoom (NH) From: PeadarOfPortsmouth Date: 17 Dec 07 - 09:33 AM Great session, I'm just sorry that I couldn't have stayed longer to hear/sing/socialize more. Guess I'll have to go next month as well. ;-) Just for documentation (since there are a few songs titled "The Mermaid") it was Child #289. See you all soon, and wishing you all the best of the season. Peter |
Subject: RE: Dec. Shanty Session@the PressRoom (NH) From: Jeri Date: 16 Dec 07 - 09:55 PM Wow. It's been quite a while since I took those photos, but I remember the slag heap. I also remember somebody's butt crack (hehehe), but I didn't send that one in. I'm responsible for the captions as well. I thought the picture looked like Joanne. Kudos for getting it fixed so fast! I should have brought my camera last night. I had my phone, but I don't know how to get the flash to work. ;-) |
Subject: RE: Dec. Shanty Session@the PressRoom (NH) From: Siochain Date: 16 Dec 07 - 09:33 PM Hmm . . . that caption DID have a rather sudden metamorphosis from doreyman to daughter . . . |
Subject: RE: Dec. Shanty Session@the PressRoom (NH) From: Charley Noble Date: 16 Dec 07 - 09:12 PM Tom- That first shot of Barry Finn is really great. Who was the photographer? There are some really nice close-ups of the group, John Roberts, and the slag heap. Cheerily, Charley Noble |

Subject: RE: Dec. Shanty Session@the PressRoom (NH) From: curmudgeon Date: 16 Dec 07 - 08:45 PM What are you on about Barry? The caption clearly says,"Barry Finn & daughter Natalie " |
Subject: RE: Dec. Shanty Session@the PressRoom (NH) From: Barry Finn Date: 16 Dec 07 - 07:52 PM Nice pictures, thanks Pene Azul That one with me & listed as Doryman' mate better not be right, that's my daughter Natalie & if she's married an already married Doryman he's in a world of trouble Barry |

Subject: RE: Dec. Shanty Session@the PressRoom (NH) From: Jeri Date: 16 Dec 07 - 06:32 PM Oops - sorry about getting the two song titles wrong. I think I called the song 'Brightest and Best' because that's what it is in one version. Thread: Lyr Add: Star in the East (Southern Harmony) |
Subject: RE: Dec. Shanty Session@the PressRoom (NH) From: curmudgeon Date: 16 Dec 07 - 06:09 PM Many thanks to all for carrying on in a proper seamanlike fashion. and for providing us absentees with a glowing portrait of what we missed, most especially, you good folk. While waxing nautical, I should mentin that some kind soul has sent some pics of the 2006 visit of the "Eagle" to Pene Azul, who has added them here. |
Subject: RE: Dec. Shanty Session@the PressRoom (NH) From: TRUBRIT Date: 16 Dec 07 - 06:03 PM I'm sorry - my musical knowledge is minus 10 -- I am not sure what a shape note hymn is -- I will have to do some research...... |
Subject: RE: Dec. Shanty Session@the PressRoom (NH) From: Siochain Date: 16 Dec 07 - 05:25 PM The version of Star in the East was a shape-note hymn from Southern Harmony, Trubrit. Siochain (reformed lurker) |
Subject: RE: Dec. Shanty Session@the PressRoom (NH) From: TRUBRIT Date: 16 Dec 07 - 05:18 PM The rendition of Brightest and Best (or Star in the East) is a tune completely unknown to me although I have known the song for years.......... |
Subject: RE: Dec. Shanty Session@the PressRoom (NH) From: Siochain Date: 16 Dec 07 - 05:06 PM Brightest and Best is actually Star In the East. Time Ashore was written by Bill Meek. The Wassail Song was not the Malpas Wassail; it was the Apple Tree Wassail. Siochain |

Adieu, Juliann, led by Barry, Gulf Coast shrimpers' song Somewhere on the Road Someone Waits for Me, led by Colin and family We'll Land on Shore, led by Alison Nelson's Hymn, led by Rose and Gloucester crew We do have a recording of most of the evening but if anyone could clarify some of the song titles above, or the identity of the song leaders, the FBI and the CIA would be most appreciative. What an evening! The South Street crew were last seem making their way towards an Indian Resaturant, following my directions through the maze of streets in Portsmouth. They planned to spend the night nearby and then drive down to Boston for the Cambridge MIT Shanty Sing. Given the snow and sleet today, Lord knows where they are now. Cheerily, Charley Noble |
Subject: RE: Dec. Shanty Session@the PressRoom (NH) From: stallion Date: 16 Dec 07 - 11:42 AM Barry - you sound in good form old son, it seems the Press Room has had a real treat for the last few months, can't wait to get back sometime. Peter |
Subject: RE: Dec. Shanty Session@the PressRoom (NH) From: Barry Finn Date: 15 Dec 07 - 11:19 PM Charlie, if figured I'd beat you to the long winded post. I surprized myself Barry |
Subject: RE: Dec. Shanty Session@the PressRoom (NH) From: Barry Finn Date: 15 Dec 07 - 11:18 PM The shopping bag was retrived by Alison, she forgot her bathing suit. If she were wearing it we wouldn't have let her forget it, would we. Barry |
Subject: RE: Dec. Shanty Session@the PressRoom (NH) From: TRUBRIT Date: 15 Dec 07 - 11:17 PM Wonderful evening -- wonderful music...... |
Subject: RE: Dec. Shanty Session@the PressRoom (NH) From: Barry Finn Date: 15 Dec 07 - 11:14 PM "we managed to stumble along the best we could" Hell, it was a riotous affair. It was a powerhouse session. All or at least most of 3 Sheets To The Wind was there, of which the Thompsom boys (father & son) were in sharp form along with other 3 Sheeter family members Rose & David with harmony wiz kid Colin doing what they've become well know for=Harmony Singing, the other 3 Shitter hubby & wife team Peter & Joanne adding their colorful side to the onslaught & being brought along from the rear by storm by Captain Gardner "Gardi", along with Tim & Martha. Early leavers, polywogs Steve, Dave & Bruce made some peeps but had to drift off for other gigs. Jeff blew in late to pick up any slack that had been left by the draft going out by Mark & Emery, who had both sung a few gems. Peter was in the corner but he was well heard from none the less there were others too but I can't remember everyone & some I didn't know, oh Jeri, she looked great in my furry flop eared mule hat but she sounded much better than she looked (next time Jeri, keep your head out of my fur???). But the froth & the foam on the crest of the wave was the presence of the "Nue Yockers" Al (of the NY Packet) & Barbara & other Packers Frank also an Ex-Seamans Institute alumni & Alison Kelly-Kraan present Johnson Girl & NexTradition member were all welcomed with loving arms & they sure did a number on the rest of us, the Main-e-acks (Tami & Trubrit) were looking to take them home into the cold north coast but alas no CD's but they now got an earful of memories & will probably hit South Street Seaport for their next musical outing. The foor was being torn up & the rafters were being pulled down but we did, barely, behave ourselves & have a great time & a wonderful sing in the process. Barry |
Subject: RE: Dec. Shanty Session@the PressRoom (NH) From: Charley Noble Date: 15 Dec 07 - 10:59 PM Someone left a shopping bag of stuff that the Press Room management is curious about; it was found in the corner to the left of where Jeri was sitting (most of the time). Cheerily, Charley Noble |
Subject: RE: Dec. Shanty Session@the PressRoom (NH) From: Jeri Date: 15 Dec 07 - 10:45 PM I don't know that the kitchen people were that well behaved. They just didn't have a hope in hell of being heard without a chain saw or a cannon! To those who gave me stuff to deliver to Tom & Linn, it's been delivered. I'm completely zonked. Came home, headache, ate something so I could take a monster ibuprofen, and now I'm going to go be unconscious. One amazing session! |
Subject: RE: Dec. Shanty Session@the PressRoom (NH) From: Charley Noble Date: 15 Dec 07 - 10:29 PM Tom and Linn- You were sorely missed but we managed to stumble along the best we could! It was really a fine turnout, with Al, Barbara, Ali and Frank from NYC, the Adventure crew, Mark, Barry, Peter, Lynn, Tami, TruBrit, Jeri, Bruce & Steve, Dave, Jeff, Emory, Judy and me, probably 30 singers in all. Barry started the winter fashion show & tell with his Rocky the Flying Squirrel cap, which was passed or hurled around so everyone could admire it. The kitchen was well-behaved. We recordedmost of the session and Judy was taking careful notes of what was sung but we're a little friend right now in terms of making a more coherent post. It was a fine singing session, and I managed to get rid of a dozen pre-release copies of my new CD, OLD SAILOR-POETS. If we have electricity tomorrow, I'll be sure to post more. Cheerily, Charley Noble |

Subject: RE: Dec. Shanty Session@the PressRoom (NH) From: Barry Finn Date: 15 Dec 07 - 10:48 AM Linn, good luck with your arm, maybe we can get a few healing songs going for you & make sure Tom cleans the house. If he's not gonna be overseeing the session he might as well be put to work elsewhere. Tom, not to worry about our behavior today. I'll keep a weather eye out on those scurvy scum sucking singing sons of sea sluts. PARTY, RIOT IN THE RIGGING, TEAR UP THE TIMBERS, there's gonna be a party tonight, we're gonna have a rumble tonight, so get out the razors, fit up your knuckles, bring in the bats, we're gonna riot & rumble tonight. Don't worry Tom, I'll keep them in line,,,,,even if I have to take out the whips & chains. Barry |
Subject: RE: Dec. Shanty Session@the PressRoom (NH) From: Charley Noble Date: 15 Dec 07 - 10:11 AM Tom and Linn- We will do our best to stay well behaved but we'll miss you! Cheerily, Charley Noble |
Subject: RE: Dec. Shanty Session@the PressRoom (NH) From: curmudgeon Date: 15 Dec 07 - 09:46 AM Linn's condition, while improving, will keep me at home this afternoon - will miss you all. In our absecnce, please behave according to custom, and sing us one we can hear from Nottingham - Tom |
Subject: RE: Dec. Shanty Session@the PressRoom (NH) From: TRUBRIT Date: 14 Dec 07 - 11:34 PM Tami --- call me -- any interest? -- Ill provide the vehicle -- I'll drive down and you drive back..............cool? |

Subject: RE: Dec. Shanty Session@the PressRoom (NH) From: curmudgeon Date: 14 Dec 07 - 07:22 PM It would be great to see Tami again, but I don't think she trusts her truck for the Portsmouth journey. |
Subject: RE: Dec. Shanty Session@the PressRoom (NH) From: Jeri Date: 14 Dec 07 - 07:04 PM Anybody talk to Tami? (Maybe she's happy just being home, but 'twould be good to see her.) Hello Tami! |
Subject: RE: Dec. Shanty Session@the PressRoom (NH) From: curmudgeon Date: 14 Dec 07 - 06:18 PM They're planning on taking in the shanty sing at MIT, if it happens. It's possible that they may change their minds based on the forecasts. |
Subject: RE: Dec. Shanty Session@the PressRoom (NH) From: Jeri Date: 14 Dec 07 - 06:00 PM We've had NYC folks come up and go home the same night. They're nuts, but if they're sharing the driving, it's not so bad. |

Subject: RE: Dec. Shanty Session@the PressRoom (NH) From: curmudgeon Date: 14 Dec 07 - 03:08 PM I'm quite sure that you could play the role, Mary. but I have no such faith in Seamus's thespian proclivities - Tom |
Subject: RE: Dec. Shanty Session@the PressRoom (NH) From: SINSULL Date: 14 Dec 07 - 02:48 PM It's official - I have Seamus for Saturday. Do they allow big yellow dogs in the Press Room? I could wear dark glasses and carry a white tipped cane but that might look odd while I am driving. M |
Subject: RE: Dec. Shanty Session@the PressRoom (NH) From: Barry Finn Date: 14 Dec 07 - 11:50 AM Spoke to Neil this morning, he's scared off with the incoming weather & is fearful of getting stuck in an alien atmosphere like New Hampshire. What a treat to have the NYC contingent showing up, it looks to be about 1/3 of the New York Packet/Rats. See you all tomorrow Barry |
Subject: RE: Dec. Shanty Session@the PressRoom (NH) From: Charley Noble Date: 14 Dec 07 - 09:12 AM Well, I suppose I was being rude to mention another, but non-competing gig, on Dave's Garnet Roger's thread. The weather still looks very good to us for travel in and out for this Saturday's Press Room event. It will be great to see more of the South Street Seaport gang along with Al and Barb. Maybe they'll be snowed in for the rest of the winter with the rest of us. Anyone willing to offer overnight hospitality for these brave tars? Cheerily, Charley Noble |
Subject: RE: Dec. Shanty Session@the PressRoom (NH) From: maeve Date: 14 Dec 07 - 08:28 AM Guest, Dave. I see that you've chosen to be a troll. Your posts in this vein are are not welcome. maeve |
Subject: RE: Dec. Shanty Session@the PressRoom (NH) From: Jeri Date: 14 Dec 07 - 08:05 AM If I couldn't get dug out, I'd start walking now for that bunch. Does this mean I can't do 'Fire Down Below'? Haha - if Alison's there, I'll request it! Saturday is predicted to be sunny, but cold, cold, COLD! We also missed the Dorypeople last month, so I hope they'll make it. Hopefully the Goucester/Cape Ann crew will make the trek northward. |
Subject: RE: Dec. Shanty Session@the PressRoom (NH) From: curmudgeon Date: 14 Dec 07 - 07:24 AM A message from Al Cuenin allowed, "I just wanted to confirm that Barbara and I are coming to the Saturday sing and Alison Kelley from the Johnson Girls and Frank Woerner of the original X-Seamen are coming with us. I hope Linn will be alright and we look forward to seeing you ............. Al Cuenin" Although I seriously doubt that Linn will be able to make it, I'll be there for an hour or so. NB - The nasty weather is currently scheduled for late Saturday and Sunday - Tom |

Subject: RE: Dec. Shanty Session@the PressRoom (NH) From: GUEST,Dave Date: 14 Dec 07 - 12:38 AM Since Charley is obviously not above hijacking other posts to his own ends, I'll reciprocate. To those offended, I appologise (not). Warning to all Maine and New Hamster folkies. Mark this date: SUNDAY---12/16/2007...at 8 P.M. Garnet Rogershere , Canada's master of guitar, fiddle, flute and baritone vocals will make a rare appearance at the One Longfellow Square venue in Portland, Maine see here . An extraordinary performer of rare and considerable talent in his writing and instrumental prowess, Garnet has gone from Stan's sideman to become a huge talent on his own terms. Don't miss this opportunity to see and hear one of the best performers on today's circuit! |
