Subject: RE: PORTLAND,ME Chanty Sing 2.5
Weyllll...the saga continues.

First of all, thanks Charlie for posting those Yangzte River lyrics--chorus is very similar but it was a different variant I'm seeking--which was sung by some big fellow at the previous China Seas shanty sing. Which version was sung on this occasion--the one Charley posted or the one I'm thinking of (I'm goin down the Yangtze River / way boys look and walk away / Now there's naught but junkies in 'er / Way boys look and walk away.)
Funny how a song can get under your skin. Maybe Naemanson can sort this persistent matter out, if the rum balls haven't--OH SORRY, LET'S NOT GO THERE EH!

WHO WAS THERE FROM OTTAWA? (My home town and place of employment) Must be people I know, I'd suspect...

And I'm glad youse had such a great time with Strike the Bell...had I been thinking a little clearer I was going to request that Kendall not sing "I just don't look good naked anymore" but I guess it was inevitable.

Wish I'd been there, maybe over next X-mas/ New Years season it'll happen again?

Er, Willie-O
