Nice find Charley, pity it leads to so many other questions. Like what mission was it & where was located. Being a Bostonian & loving shanties I love to follow this futher. The oldest sessions I've found that had been held in Boston was Irish music durning the 40's & 50's held in the Dudley St area of Roxbury later to known as the Dudley St Sessions (Joe Duranne SP? being one of the regulars that's still alive & playing). I don't imagine any of the singers from the mission are still out & about singing, eh?
see ya soon
