Subject: RE: Apr. Shanty Session @ The Press Room -NH
We just got back after a nice dinner in Portsmouth and a stop at LL Bean's on the long road back to Richmond, Maine. There was a good turnout with about a dozen people leading songs, including a young fellow with some friends at an adjacent table. Let's see there was Tom and Linn, Judy and myself, Marc, Chris, Bruce, Susan, Marty, Justine, and two other folks whose names I can't come up with.

I wasn't taking good notes on what was being sung. I lead:

Whiskey-o
By the Old Pagoda Anchorage
Laying on the Screw
Storm Along Stormy
Mobile Bay
Lumber
Pierhead Chorus
West Indies Blues

Bruce did a remarkable job with Doodle Let Me Go.

Maybe I'll think of some more songs in the morning, or someone else will fill in.

There were also some visitors from the MIT sea music sessions chorusing along.

Cheerily,
Charley Noble
