Lighter--

Wasn't it around 1988/89 that you met Hugill at Mystic Seaport -- presumably during one of the Sea Music festivals?

I believe that Jerry Bryant has publicly stated (or else I wouldn't be saying it) that he was in attendance at an explicit songs workshop led by Hugill at the festival, and that a good deal of that material went into his renditions under his pseudonym.

What that workshop have been the same year(s) you attended?

In recent years, the "after hours" venue at the Mystic festival (to name just one) is held in the sort of mess hall for guest performers, from about 1am till "whenever." It's were anything goes, lyrics-wise. Incidentally, however, at this last one (I only visited one of the nights) it seemed as if anything no longer goes...or doesn't go well. There were so many "kids" and so little alcohol there that I for one would have felt strange to sing anything explicit.
