Subject: RE: October Press Room (NH) Shanty Sing
I had a wonderful time in NH and ME. The trad session was great, but it's probably no surprise that I enjoyed the chantey sing even more. It started slowly but picked up speed as more people arrived. It also veered into "bawdy territory" for a while, but that's not surprising with this kind of music. It was great fun to meet Bat Goddess and Ranger1 and GUEST: Justine. As for you, Linn, you managed very well, especially considering the strain you've been facing. While I would have liked to spend more time with you, I didn't want to monopolize you. You have obligations to the regulars at The Press Room, and I didn't want to delay your getting home to Tom. Special thanks to Tami and her friends for walking me back to the parking garage. I'm not sure I could have found my way in the dark, so having a ranger guide me was reassuring.
Maeve, I also had a wonderful time with you and Truelove. I enjoyed the Salt Bay Cafe, and I loved seeing your home and farm. What a lovely afternoon! I hope I didn't keep you both from your chores too long.
Charlie, I'll catch up with you in Mystic where I hope to meet Judy. I've enjoyed reading about your trip and seeing your photos.
