A terrific evening indeed! There were about 230 people there, and in the abscence of the stalwarts mentioned, a whole crew of singers came out of the woodwork and lent a hand. There were some rarely heard (at least rarely heard at the chantey sing) songs mixed in with standards, sung by Longtime chantey sing regulars Melani and Elise, among others, and it was great to meet Sourdough and Mrrzy.

2001 marks the 20th anniversary year of the chantey sing. We'll have an aniversary celebration sometime later in the year, maybe in August or September, in which I'll post an invitation thread to you all. It could make for a great mudcat gathering.
