It looks like things are on schedule for sales at Folklife. There will be an official debut later on, but we really want to sell as many as possible at Folklife. There will be official pronouncements in a couple of weeks as to how to purchase on Internet etc. There will be a panel workshop put on at Folklife by Jon Pfaff, Saturday evening at 7:30 or so..check the schedule. The panel is not an official function of the CD itself, but will include many of the songs and singers...some unfortunately have other engagements and can not attend...

But if I say so myself, this is one great collection of songs and singers. If you follow maritime music, you have probably heard many of the singers as they have their own CDs out, are on the radio, perform at festivals etc. You might know a few of the songs, but some will be brand new to everyone.

It is a whole new genre of music..tugboat songs...I am hoping that a companion CD emerges from the east coast, perhaps including Great Lakes and Mississipi river etc.

Well, save your money because you will want to buy this...worth braving the crowds for at Folklife...mg
