I realize that the sea music festival at Mystic has already become an institution of 30 plus years in the running.

However, if the Museum brass does not appreciate the $$$ plus the positive publicity that the festival brings them, perhaps the organizers should consider moving the festival to another facility that would be more appreciative and supportive.

There is a new seaport museum down in Tuckerton, NJ that has been around for the past 5 years and is now developing a sea chantey program in conjunction with a local folk music club. They would be just tickeled pink if they could host a festival with the stature of the one held at Mystic.
