Ross-

I did do a drive-through by Fleetwood with Ken Lardner when I was doing my Liverpool run back in 2006. I didn't realize you folks were in residence at the time, and clearly missed out on another wonderful session.

As C. Fox Smith once remarked (Mariquita) "The ports I knew grown strange" is probably an apt description of the Fleetwood harbor area that we viewed. Reminds me of many of our traditional fishing ports here in Maine.

Mudcat is a great place to post your songs and your notes, but do consider working it up as a songbook. Cyril Tawney's GREY FUNNEL LINES is a good model, and you've actually collected more good material than Cyril was able to come up with at the time (before Mudcat and the World Wide Web).

Cheerily,
Charley Noble
