Well, guess what. My coach back to Canberra this morning was delayed so late I had to postpone my surgery appointment, therefore I remain mobile, and scrambled back home on buses just in time to contact the James Craig, join up, and volunteer for Sunday. So I will be answering Gavin's call on behalf of Thursday's shanty singers as crew on the James Craig this Sunday. A prouder heart won't beat. It's only another 3+ hours each way ... I taped the session on broadcast-quality equipment, it's playing now, sounds great. I record ambient sound from a sweet spot, so it isn't a recording of the singers, it's a recording of that space resonating with the sound of singing. I even caught some of the above-deck antics through the hatch! Cheers, Chris
