Thread Name: Shanty/Forebitter Session for October(NH
Subject: RE: Shanty/Forebitter Session for October(NH
I thought that Ron would do the Manch, it aint too PC, do you all know what a chinese chippy is? In fact I am sure he will sing it, although he sings a coal mining song as a solo, "Albert Berry", which he sang at Heather Woods place the night before we left NYC, that left goose bumps and hair standing on end and I think is one of his most powerfully performed songs. Hey Charley, we plan to do our rendition of Yangtse River Shanty will that be ok? It is probably the first and, if not, the second song we write in to all our sets, the first is usually a "warm up" song like "My Emma", it is very slightly different in the melody and a tad pacy but then it is our way. Really looking forward to meeting up with you all Pete
