NbptErnie April Shanty Session, Press Room, NH (26) RE: April Shanty Session, Press Room, NH 22 Apr 12


Hopefully, this will not be a duplicate post, but first time produced no result, so here goes 2nd try:

The Pressroom Shanty Session convened on Saturday, April 21 2012 at 3:30 and ran until 7:30. Tom Hall and Linn Schulz were both unable to attend

this session, and I sat in as scribe to document the day for them and for the record. Sixteen enthusiasts joined in the revelry, with an especially strong

showing from Gloucester folk. Over the course of the afternoon and evening, we also managed to drag over some others from the pub, who greatly

enjoyed the chanteys and provided a good audience.

In attendence were the following: Ernie Pigeon (NbptErnie), Amy DeSilva, Alexander Thompson, Gardiner Winchester, Crystal Cennami (Gardi's

daughter), Judy Keith, Ray Spieker, Chris Leghorn, Bruce MacIntyre, Jane MacIntyre, Chris Madden, Marty Stock (Bupkes), Barry O'Brien, Pat

Doyle, Meredith Anderson, and Phil Boncer.
