I hope to be there, but just to listen. Can't say I know chanties well enough to know more than one version of any of them. If you get really hard up, I can sing "I'm an Old Cowhand, From the Rio Grande..."

Jerry and Bev Praver used to be renowned for leading workshops with various versions of a single song. Their "Froggy Went a-Courtin'" workshop was always a big hit.
