Geezez Greg, for a not too old bugger you sure got a sweet tongue & a sharp memory, either that or you had an eye out for the young lad, "green pants and grey shirt, with a cavalry hat". Hope that next time I see you I'm presentable. Were you out there at the begining? My memory's not even close to yours, I can't remember were I met you 1st, NYC, Mystic or at the very begining of those sings. Don't remember Bob there either. I do remember Dave Nettell & aside from those that I mentioned above. I also remember Piper & a tall blond woman who used to sing with Richard, great voice & a fine musician but dam me I can't remember her name & I think Marla was there at that time too. This was a bunch of great people & very friendly that also happen to be fantastic singers & they all deserve a share in the credit for getting the shanty sing off the ground so quickly with their feet hitting the deck running, they did make it so easy, in those early days, that it was able to run on it's own steam.
Peter, you've been a great helsman, many thanks, you sweetie.
Barry, again
