I recall playing the ward room at the HMCS Hunter one night... All the lads were asking for "The Last Shanty" and I had to admit that I didn't know the song at all...

"Well then", said the guy who hired me, "You ain't gettin' out of here till ya learn it!"

A few pints and a few shots later, I stepped up and gave them probably the worst version they had ever heard... They very nearly carried me around on their shoulders... And as DMaster (Steve) will tell ya, the ward room has a really LOW ceiling!!!

I also came VERY close to opening for Tom one night at the Junior Mess.. maybe Steve will tell the tale...

Suffice to say, I've been almost as hooked on Tom as Steve is ever since!
