Thread Name: March Press Room (NH) Shanty Sing
Subject: RE: March Press Room (NH) Shanty Sing
I recorded the sea music sessions up until Tom lost his voice (and I rather lost heart recording them -- right around the same time Barry Finn died, as well). I transcribed what was sung (and discussed) onto the j-cards, which are digitized. (The j-cards, not the tapes, alas.) I was recording mostly so I could hear myself and improve my delivery and because I liked to keep track of what was sung. And I tried to point out to Tom that his voice was getting quieter, but he didn't pay any attention.

Since I stopped recording I write down what's been sung and then post them here. Not a problem and I WILL continue doing it. (But I also should start bringing the digital recorder and recording, too.)

I was just curious as to whom it mattered.

For the past year or so I've been keeping a record (for my own use) of what I sing at the Friday sessions.
