Thread Name: RAINY CAMP? (Jan 30-Feb 1, 2009)
Subject: RE: RAINY CAMP?
Hi Mary, I'm sorry you can't make it. I was looking forward to a good sans-book session. I'll just have to do it myself!

I'm planning to do a workshop titled "Songs of the Sea"
It will be songs, but not sea chanties
(maybe someone else will do those).
Actually, I was thinking of calling it
"Uncommon Sea Songs - not-in-the-book."
I've done several 'songs of the sea' concerts recently,
and most of the songs are contemporary 'in-the-tradition.'
I could sing and teach any of these songs, but I would also
be interested in hearing other less-common songs
that others might contribute.

Well we've already had our record snows,
and now record rains with floods,
so maybe we might have some more typical
NW weather (whatever that is),
and hopefully the roads will be fixed by then.

See ya then,
Cheers, S. in Seattle
