Subject: RE: July Shanty Session at the Press Room
To clarify what Brett said, Heely: just go to the "Quick Links" dropdown menu at the top right of the main Mudcat Cafe page and click on "Login", then follow the very simple directions.

Uncle Jaque, is the "shanty" you're referring to a Portland version of Steve Goodman's Lincoln Park Pirates?

Gee, Tom, I hope that I fit into the Friday session all right. I can leave out the 35th and 36th verses of "Lord Randall and the Large Ball of String", if that would help. They're more or less repeats of verses 27 and 28, anyway, only in a sort of a quasi-Armenian dialect-- so it shouldn't really affect the artistic integrity of the song all that much. And I could leave out the saxophone break, I guess.

Aloha,
Mark
