We had a great time! Do I need to say anything more?

Oh all right, we had a wonderful time too.

Oh all right, I'll give a FEW more details. I was one of the first through the door and helped set up the room. It was a wonderful place to sing sea music. We were in a big open space surrounded by nautical memorabilia of all sorts. We were seated on chairs, sea chests, and an overturned skiff. When I left to get the pizza at about 5:30 there were seventeen people in the room. When I got back the crowd had swelled considerably but I never counted to see by how many.

We had a good representation by the Mudcat. Remember that this was not intended as an official Mudcat gathering. Nevertheless Jeri, Barry Finn, Kendall, Sinsull, Uncle Jaque, Thom M, Willie-o, Jets, and Bren showed up. On the other hand the Roll & Go crew (7) was there minus one plus three old members who showed up. Als we were visited by Castlebay (Fred Gosbee and Julia Lane), Chuck Romanov of Schooner Fare, and myriad others who stopped in to sing. The music ran from about 4:30 to about 10:00. Everyone had a good time and agreed we need to do it again.

Special thanks go to Stevens Bunker and Sharon Bondroff for hosting the gathering.
