Just a quick thank you to Chantey Ranger and others for making me welcome in San Francisco. I went there after being invited by a non-folkie friend, and although I remembered b4 I went that SF is an historic port, it never occurred to me to check in advance for singers via Mudcat. Fortunately Pete Chantey Ranger was working at the Maritime Historic Park on San Francisco Fisherman's Wharf (http://www.argonauthotel.com/argmari/) and I talked to him anyway :-)   Pete invited me to some forebitter singing on the Balclutha (http://www.nps.gov/safr/historyculture/balclutha.htm) and I managed to "get away" and join in. It was fantastic.

(Sadly I don't seem to know any forebitters. If you're going to San Francisco, be sure to ... learn some forebitters afore ye go.)

Thank you Pete Chantey Ranger and Sue (sorry I've lost your mudcat namae Sue) and everyone else for making me so welcome. A really memorable part of my short holiday - something to write home about, in fact ;-)

Thanks again and love to all,
Elizabeth
