There's another Sea Chanty sing in Baltimore the second Wednesday of every month at the Wharf Rat in Fells Point, if the calendar works that way, not to mention the Institute Of Musical Traditions Concert Series with folk acts every Monday night at that time of year. (Hammered Dulcimer player Maggie Sansone was there last night).

A scan of both the the FSGW newsletter and the Weekender supplement published every Friday in the Washington Post will bring you up to date on the rich music and dance scene here, while The Weekender will also clue you in on what's at the museums, theatres and such and other odd special events in town as well. Historical sites abound in Maryland Notheren Virginia and DC and it's an easy day trip to seashore, bay , piedmont, river and mountain settings as well as Frederick Annapolis and Baltimore.

Friends from FSGW or Mudcat will put you up through a post on a Mudcat thread and link up for rides or shelter on the other legs of your trip as well.

The music and the friendships to be made are lasting.

Go for it!
