Subject: RE: July Shanty Session @the Press Room(NH)
Teleportation would be grand! (Hmm...party at Brett & Wakana's!!!)
Great to see Brett again -- wish we'd had more time to talk. And I didn't get to talk to Tyler Buck at ALL (and hadn't seen her in ages).
Lovely, too, to have Paul and Charlene at the sessions (they come for the weekend, so get to the weekly Friday session, too). Paul's enthusiastic singing (and really nice repertoire!) is obvious, but most of you couldn't hear Charlene's great harmonies. (I could and it's a treat!)
There really seemed to be way more background noise than usual -- even taking the Sopwith Camel (air conditioner) into consideration. The A/C is white noise and blots out a whole range of tones -- but not enough of the loud talking in the background, breaking glassware, etc. But, hey, it's a pub on what turned out to be a rainy afternoon and tourists who didn't expect a music session came in for lunch and a pint, etc. And SOME of them really appreciated what they found and stayed to say how much they enjoyed the singing.
