Thread Name: May Shanty Session @ the Press Room (NH)
Subject: RE: May Shanty Session @ the Press Room (NH)
A bit of a slow start until we hit critical mass and there was one point in the afternoon where the ambiant noise level was pretty high. Had a couple people (Fran from Boston, f'rinstance) show up who usually don't get to this session.

Let's see, Hutch (Emery Hutchins) was there for quite awhile, Sinsull and Jacqui, Pete Hale and his father, Alexander, Jeri, Lynne Cullen, Pete & Joanne, Rose & David, Bob Eaton, Alan Eaton, Barry & Justine, Fran, Bob Frost for awhile, Dave Halliwell, Bruce MacIntyre, Tom and I...okay, who have I forgotten?

I sang "Sandgate Girl's Lament", "Sloop John A", "Race of Long Ago", "Fathom the Bowl". Tried to do "Harbors of Home" but it was at a point where it was too loud to hear myself (or anyone else) and couldn't find a note.

The jazz crew stuck around to listen for quite awhile and tourists who stopped in for a late lunch seemed to enjoy the music.
