Subject: RE: SF Festival of the Sea, 9/9/06
Also just back from the chanty sing. All in all, a great day. My sea music group wasn't one of the "official" performers, but we showed up and sang anyway, mostly on the Balcutha since there wasn't a stage there this year. I hung out until the sing and boy was it great. Revel was there, bringing back the time I was a newbie at the sings. I saw a bunch of faces in the crowd that I haven't seen in a while. They were all very into it, and the choruses were wonderful -- and I for one needed the help after singing out in the wind all day.

It was also nice to put a face to the name of Joe Offer. I'd like to know why the budget seems so limited compaired to years past, but it didn't affect my enjoyment of the day much. Anyway, off to bed.
