We will definitely be at the Mystic Chantey Blast with our donations as well as the Friends of the Festival contibutions we always make. The times are indeed difficult, but the Mystic Seaport Sea Music Festival must be at Mystic, that is what makes it the unique event it has always been. It's a great idea to do satellite festivals to support the June festival, but not to replace it. Just the announcement of a chantey blast in January made our winter! We can't wait to sing with those who can be there. Sometimes we must pare down in all of our budgets...that's just a fact, but the idea of a substitute festival just doesn't make for many of us. Spread the news about January 3rd and then see what ensues.Can't wait to see lots of folks. Sue and Pam
