Congratulations, Mary. I've been listening to "Herrings in the Bay" for about three weeks now and noted to myself and to friends on several occasions what a talented songwriter you are. Gordon knows how to pick 'em! I'm especially partial to "Boats of Peter's River"--an exceptionally well-crafted song. The others are also fine songs, although I have to admit that I enjoyed them better with Gordon's solo singing of them in his recent Washington, DC, concert than I do with the big chorus (especially on Astoria Bar, where the words get a little muddied by the numerous voices). The chorus obviously is having fun, though, both on that song and on "Cannery Shed." Hooray for you!
