Great news, Kendall! I knew it would be back if you gave it some time. (I know, I know, it's hard to be patient when it's your voice AND livelihood!)
Anyhoo, I'll see (and hear) you at the Portland Shanty Sing -- and I'll bring your book back. Meanwhile I've re-read "Cold As a Dog and the Wind Nor'east" -- aloud, of course.
