Seen a GREAT use fer yer CDs. String 'em from some marline and hang 'em over the decks. Keeps the seagulls off the 'ol barge!

Had a great session at Schooner's last night. "Three Sheets (to the wind)" is really starting to come together and we may be putting our own compilation CD together real soon! I don't think we're going to have a "full compliment" this Saturday but four or five of us are planning to make the trek. Too close to the holidays for some, ya know.

I had one of the best times of my life last month at the Press Room! It was almost as exhilarating as the time we mis-read the tides at St. John's NB. and hit the Reversing Falls at the wrong time. Ain't much can compare to whitewater rafting down those falls in a 55 foot schooner! But hearing Barry Finn beltin' it out was close.

I'm looking forward to when we can mirror your Shanty Saturday down here in Gloucester. We can put it on at the first Saturday of each month and you'se can trek down here! To be honest, it took me almost two weeks for my voice to recoup from hammering out those seventy-some-odd songs last month!

By the way, I noted a mike a-top the piano last month. Anything ever come from that? If so, I'd love a copy.

See you'se on Saturday!
