My son & I were at the Boston Antique & Classic Boat Festival in Salem, Mass. today & stopped by to see the Frienship (17??) merchant ship run by the National Park Service (same org. who runs the famed San Francisco sea sessions lead on by Chanteyranger). While on board I asked in they'd be open to a shanty session & the answer would be "most likely". I tried getting a shanty session going yrs in the Boston area with no luck. Though there are a lot of singers there around here there wasn't much interest. I'm checking here to see if there is any local interest on mudcat that would warrant trying to start one up again (the last one ended a good 20 yrs ago?)? Barry
