Subject: RE: Dec. Shanty Session@The Press Room(NH)
Small gathering, but we ended up making some visitors from Michigan pleased that they chanced upon the session.
Tom and I got there first, but it took the jazz people awhile to vacate the area. Ernie and Amy arrived from Newburyport and Jeri showed up earlier than she usually does. And after a bit Chris Maden made it.
For instrumentation we had three, count 'em, three English-system concertinas. That's it. No banjos, guitars, whistles. Just voices and concertinas.
I guess the excuses for non-appearance were mostly words of three letters -- "gig" or "bug". We were all healthy, though, and in good voice. (Really wish Tom had more voice, though.)
Will post a playlist sometime either after work today or maybe tomorrow.
