The monthly shanty/forebitter session will be taking place at the Press Room, 77 Daniel St. Portsmouth NH on Saturday, 10 May from 3:30 to 7:30 PM. Due to a previous commitment, neither Linn nor I will be able to attend. However, Bruce MacIntyre has consented to take the helm for the day, thus ensuring a well run singaround.

Those at the April session may recall Raquel Maria Dillon, the young woman with the tape recorder from New Hampshire Public Radio. She has distilled her 3 hours of recording into a 5 minute feature which will be aired on NHPR, 89.1 FM, this coming Friday between 5:45 and 6:00 PM. For those out of earshot or otherwise occupied, the feature should be available on-line here. sometime after the broadcast.

Please plan to attend next Saturday and hoist a pint and a song. Will miss you all -- Tom
