At last a chance to chime in. Great big thanks to Tom for lining up the chance to have regular shanty sessions. What a wonderful evening. People were there to sing and to listen. Polite audience, a rarity in a bar, and the beer was good too.

Now I have to work on expanding the old repertoire. I don't want to be too repetitive and, believe it or not, I don't have all that many songs ready for performance.
