Well...now that the name thing is underwater...Joanne and I(the tall Peter with the darker beard...no, that doesn't sound right either)
Thanks for hosting another great evening of song, friendship, grog and grub. It was again another spectacular shanty session. Tom and Linn...we really appreciate your kindness, hospitality and opening another avenue up for all of us to learn more great shanties and sea songs. That 45 minute trip is worth more than you can imagine for a lot of us folks who enjoy the music and good company. FYI...Joanne did "Don't Sail on the Emma" last night...this was my Newfie grandmother's name and it's really a cool song. I would like to hear someone do "The Banks of Newfoundland" if anyone knows it next month. Really a cool song....we'll scrape her and we'll scub her, etc. Hope to get a few more of the crew up to the PR next month from Gloucester. We had a really good turnout for the weekend before Christmas. Barry Finn was absolutely right....as you enter the door or go to the end of the room....them sound is WOW!!! Back to reality with work and Adventure. Hope the full crew from Portsmouth or whereever can make a trip this summer to see our progress.
Thanks to each and all.
The darkest day is almost here and gone...daylight will creep mildly back into our dimly lit world. It is the turning of winter.
Happy Christmas, peace and good health to all!!!
