Subject: RE: New England Shanty Sessions
HeyGuys! It's great to hear that you all are keeping the shanty singing going up there. We have been having regular sessions here in Portsmouth/Norfolk Virginia for years. Our regular meeting is on the second Thursday of the month at 7 PM at Rebel Marine in Ocean View, Norfolk, No instruments please. Also, we have held a sailors evening every year during the Great Chesapeake Bay Schooner Race in Oct. This sing is held from 9 -UNTIL at the Nauticus pier at the Waterside festival park. It is a circle sing - but with well over 100 voices. Put your beer can on your head to take a verse.If you are ever in the area. . . Give us a shout. One rule that we have is that you try to bring a new shantey to teach each time. Heely
