Our last 4th Sunday Shanty Swap of the year is taking place September 23rd at 7 PM. The Observatory is an old wooden octagon signal tower constructed back in 1807 and is a great place for a song circle. Members of Roll & Go will be ready to lead some songs but we would love to have others do the same, in turn. We welcome traditional as well as contemporary songs of the sea, ballads as well as shanties.

Last time we had about 30 people attending, relatives and old friends as well as some new folks who were anxious to lead songs. Bring an extra chair to share!

The tower sits high on Munjoy Hill and commands a sweeping view of Casco Bay. Admission is $4 for adults, $2 for children, with proceeds donated to Greater Portland Landmarks which maintains the building.

Please post if you're attending.

Cheerily, Charley Noble
