Dave:

I had a wonderful time exchanging Shanties !!!!

Also one of the neatest things we did is exchange different tunes for An Old Man Came Courtin' me. Thanks Ceitagh for your uptempo version, and thanks Dave for your more familiar version. Man, that's one of the areas where I think hearme has unplumbed possibilities. In fact, it might be fun one night to see how many different versions/styles that we can get people to sing of a common song.

I can't remember all a sang. but I did sing:

Haul on the Anchor Chain. Leave her Johnny.

among others.
