We are organizing a Shanty Party on the 27th of December in Portland, Maine, at the China Sea Marine Trading Company on 10 Dana Street in the Old Port of the city. China Sea is a store specializing in maritime artifacts, curiosities, and salvage. You can see their web site at http://www.chinaseas.com/.

The fun starts about 4:30. You can bring your own beverages and food. I don't know what will be made available but I believe, at this time all that is available is space and plenty of singers. We will be starting off with shanties and sea songs but who knows where it will go from there. The present members of Roll & Go will be there as well as some previous members. I expect Uncle Jaque to be there as well as the owners of the shop. The owner, Stevens Bunker, used to have his shop in Baltimore and was a member of a shanty group down there.

Keep your eye on this thread for more details.
