Subject: RE: Jan Shanty Session @the Press Rm (NH)
It was a lovely, cozy session with everyone in fine voice. Missed those who couldn't make it (ohmagawd, a SIX HOUR board meeting?!? And I bet it wasn't a dinner meeting, either) but we just kept on singing.

Bruce MacIntyre was there for a bit at the beginning, too, Charley, but he had to go back to work.

What did I sing? "Sailor's Prayer", "Ten Stone" (thanks, Jeri!), "Cannery Shed", and a couple non-sea songs -- "Tequila Sheila" (a "south-of-the border ballad") in honor of Judy's margarita and gospelly "That's All Right" because someone said the magic words "that's all right". Oh, and "Gin, Gin Is Mother's Ru-in" while discussing booze-related songs and the Great Molasses Flood in Boston.

Stay away from off shore Ethiopia and Somalia, Charley -- keep safe from pirates.
