November Shanty, Forebitter and Foc's'le Ballad Session this Saturday, November 19th from 3:30 to 7:30 PM at The Press Room on Daniel Street in Portsmouth, NH.

I apologize for being a tad later than I usually announce this. I'm dealing with a family crisis in Milwaukee.

Historical note -- The Press Room celebrates its 40th anniversary this week. Original proprietor Jay Smith opened on election day in 1976. Originally the pub only served beer. A full liquor license was added in 1981 -- with a license that didn't require serving food, but demanded live music from open to close. On Sunday, November 20th, there will be an open house at The Press Room from 1-3.

This monthly session was started by Curmudgeon and me in January 2003, so we're fast approaching 14 years. Our weekly trad session started the summer of 1982. Lots of tradition at The Press Room!

Come join us for the shanty sing on Saturday! Music makes the world a better place.
