Greetings, 'Catters -

Bad news / good news / gooder news

The bad news is that there will be no sea music festival this year at San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park.

The good news is that there will be a festival at the park, on Saturday, September 22nd, 11am-5pm, a Tugboat Festival, celebrating the 100th anniversary of the steam tug Hercules. Free admission.

The gooder news: Among the many activities, there will be music performed by three outstanding folk singers; Bob Bossin, Hank Cramer, and David LoVine, performing traditional and contemporary songs of tug & steam vessels, and their times. David LoVine has written a new song about the Hercules, which he will debut at the fest.
