Hi Walt - Just to let you know if you ever are coming to New England, that tere is a monthly Shanty / Forebitter session at the Press Room Pub in Portsmouth NH. Its the third Saturday of the month and runs from 3:30 to 7:30 PM. We'd love to have you join us sometime.

In addition, the Portsmouth Maritime Folk Festival will be happening this year starting on September 23 and running through the 26th. There will be open singarounds and performances by Jeff Warner, Bob Webb, John Roberts, Cindy Kallett and others. I'll be posting a thread for this as the time gets closer. Meanwhile you can check the website. It will be updated once the webmaster finishes moving from NH to NC -- Tom
