Barry, thanks for the info! I haven't heard Finn & Haddie yet...I was at Mystic, but didn't see you there ;-) (I didn't get to the pub sing, very sad)

I am familiar with both Rum-Soaked Crooks and Compass Rose; my father is part of Compass Rose, but we don't talk much so I never really know what he's up to. The short version being that it would be great if you could keep me apprised of things going on in this area. I don't really hear about them until I read'em in the paper, and then often don't have enough time to plan...

What I'm most interested in is people to sing with, so YES! I would definitely be interested in a monthly shanty sing. Monthly is about how often I could make it. (babysitters being scarce around here) Sounds great, please let me know!
