Thread Name: April Press Room (NH) Shanty Sing
Subject: RE: April Press Room (NH) Shanty Sing
Let's get started. First, the crew -- Curmudgeon (Tom Hall) and I, of course, Dianne Lavoie, Mike Modern from Kittery, Maine (I think the only representative from Maine this month), Bob Eaton, Steve from Gloucester and his wife, Erin & Lindsay Weaver from Vermont, Don Hale from waaaay south in Massachusetts, Jeri, Ernie Pigeon & Amy from Newburyport, MA, W.B., Justine Donovan & Steve Smith, Carol Coronis, Barbara Benn, Jean Jennings(!!! -- we don't see her often enough), Jeff Warner, and Irish singer newly arrived in the area Sean Fell.

Took awhile to get the drums, etc. of the jazz people moved out so we could set up and then getting the piped in music shut off seemed to be another project. Then we seemed to have trouble getting jump started, so Mike Modern kicked in with a little ditty...
