BAZ,

Thanks ! Exporting the good songs to Kuwait, and as of this weekend to the hashers/Marathon runners of Bahrain ... (although hash and marathon don't belong in the same sentence generally speaking ...).

And I'll plug for BAZ and the good folks of Kernow (Cornwall). Some superb multitalented musicians down there: psaltry, mandolin, concertina, fiddle, banjo, guitar, recorder and Bodhran spring to mind. The perfect folk holiday !

Another shantyman, Dave of Hanging Johnny, is putting shanties on the map in the UK. Look out for his tapes. Meanwhile keep an eye out for some New York shanty acquaintances: Liam's Brother et al. Coming to a pub (Bodmin) near you!

Cheers, Allahamdalla, Brian
