Barry-

I had read the notes and lyrics to "Captain Roger's Cruelty" but had never heard anyone intrepid enough to sing this long grim ballad. Good job! And I'm sure that Andrew Rose's ghost appreciated your work.

Looks like I'm gonna miss the next Press Room shanty swap. I'm planning to roll down to NYC for the South Street Sea Port shanty swap, stay with my brother's family in Brooklyn; there are rumors that a couple of Mudcatters may be traveling with me. Maybe we could swap verses back and forth by cellular phone!!!

Cheerily,
Charley Noble
