Subject: RE: October Shanty Session at the Press Room
A good time indeed, Brett! The lineup was a little wierd; no Barry Finn, no Brian, no Sinsull, no Bruce MacIntyre, no you, but we managed to make some great music. We sang, led by Charley, "The Outside Track" for you and Judy proposed and led the toast in your honour. We had two guest innebriates, one of whom composed a potentially good song on the spot; the other one verged on passing out until escorted out the door. Jeri was in exceptionally fine voice -- Getaway, be prepared! It was especially nice to have Nor joining us; he doesn't do that enough. Linn and I managed to keep our voices working despite the colds. Also there were Dave Hallowell, Tyler Buck, Barbara Benn and Jeff Warner, who ended the session with "The Road to Mandalay." More words later -- Tom
