Larry Lamm East Coast USA Chantey Singer and Irish Balladier has passed. He was found in his car after leaving a session at the "Pints and Pipes Pub" in Williamsburg Virginia. Devoted to the Old songs of Yore and a reenactor, Larry travelled the Middle US states to enjoy singing circles, sessions, Scottish Games, and festivals with his stack of cue cards. He was a joy to the Town Point Yacht Club Chantey Singers in Norfolk, VA. We have loved Larry and especially his Irish Ballads. I hope somebody stuffed his lyrics cards in the coffin. God Bless you, Larry. Heely

Chantey men don't die, they simply sail away..........

I do hope his friends and family have an appropriate memorial service for him, to help sing him home.
