Way out west in Colorado, but I have a daughter and twin grandsons in Groton. We used to live in Old Mystic, then Mystic and I have kicked myself, many times, for eschewing the Seaport, partly because of expense, but also because of an abhorrence for whaling. I did get to meet some of the regular chantymen when they sang at a fund-raising a neighbour hosted to try to save a bluebird "hill" where a subdivision was being built. Now, of course, were I there, I'd go often and meet more of them and Mudcatters!:-)

We loved RI, too. I helped my brother do a concert of all of his original, classical music at the Music Mansion in Providence one time. There is some footage of it on youtube: Romance No. 1 (don't look at my "poodle" hair...I don't know what I was thinking getting such a tight perm!); it was pre-digital age, but people still seem to enjoy it. I've got more I need to get online.

Have fun!
