Thanks, Azizi!
I first wrote in who's leading which chantey, then erased it, as on second look it seemed a little superfluous, but forgot to erase Richard at the ending chantey. We'll be sharing leads, and it's pretty even on how many each are taking lead vocal. We're looking forward to it.
You lucky East Coast and Southern folks have two Menhaden fishermen groups to see and hear live, plus the Georgia Sea Island Singers. What great sources! We had the Georgia Sea Island Singers at our sea music fstival, in 2003, in SF, and they made a terrific impact on all, especially at the evening chantey sing, when they made their exit singing "Pay Me My Money Down," with over 200 participants singing along on the chorus.
