Subject: RE: Mystic Seaport Sea Music Festival 2006 From: Barry Finn Date: 22 Jan 09 - 01:44 AM That must've been someone just pulling back into port after a couple yrs. Looks like they've been sea sick for a long time Barry |

Subject: RE: Mystic Seaport Sea Music Festival 2006 From: Greg B Date: 17 Aug 06 - 05:06 PM Normally performers are paid during the final concert. I know, I've been the 'check elf' before. This year, Craig was doing it. If he missed anyone (i.e., you departed without seeing him), perhaps the checks were left with someone upon Craig's departure from the museum and handed off to someone who was supposed to forward them by mail. I would email Jonathan Shay ( jonathan.shay@mysticseaport.org ) who is the new Festial Coordinator and who was also Craig's boss and let him know of the discrepancy. If they can't find the checks then they ought to re-issue them, pronto. Jonathan is a good sort, I think, and would be concerned that the reputation of the Seaport as an employer should suffer. Like I said, it's generally been policy that perfomers leave the festival with their payment for performance in-hand. As to the book-store issue, I wouldn't hesitate to write to the Seaport President, Adm. Douglas Teeson. He won't handle it himself, but you can bet that his staff knows who to send the correspondence to. I would suggest, however, that you specifically ask that they send the complaint not to the book store, but to the Seaport staff member who administers the contract with the book-store. If there are problems, that person needs to step up and, again, protect the reputation of the Seaport. |

Subject: RE: Mystic Seaport Sea Music Festival 2006 From: Charley Noble Date: 11 Aug 06 - 03:51 PM Jon- You have been abundantly patient with Candice and Company but you need to stick to her like a leech, and, yes, she probably needs the invoice resubmitted. I would copy everything she e-mails you, along with your replies to her, and forward them to Mystic Seaport Museum (not sure what name would be best to address such concerns to?) so she knows other powers may be watching. I bet she doesn't wait 45 days to mail you your check. Then you thank her for her work... The frustration is not worth focusing your songwriting talents on, but I'm sure it's tempting: Haul in the greenbacks, the greenbacks, the greenbacks, Haul in the greenbacks, the greenbacks-o! Cheerily, Charley Noble |

Subject: RE: Mystic Seaport Sea Music Festival 2006 From: Barry Finn Date: 11 Aug 06 - 01:26 PM Sorry to hear about your money woes Jon, Danny's too. That guy John, he's getting your Astoria spoils too, can't anyone get your name right? Thanks for the heads up on New Bedford looks to be very interesting. It'll be a good reason to visit Mom, in West Dennis. Are there any later or late night sessions, sings or other such things that will be going on durning festival nights? Working Waterfront festival can be visited here: http://www.workingwaterfrontfestival.org/thebuzz/ Barry |

Subject: RE: Mystic Seaport Sea Music Festival 2006 From: GUEST,jcampbellwampum Date: 11 Aug 06 - 12:43 PM Candice McCoy in San Diego has invited me to resubmit my invoice so as to be paid for product sold during the festival, does this mean another 45 days? It's much more pleasant to attend that festival as a spectator, if this is the way things are going to be handled I'll forego any further involvement as a performer. The amount of hassle after the fact is beginning to feel like earning the money twice, and is illegal in that I'm now laboring at below minimum wage. I sympathize with all the friends and volunteers who put so much effort into making all this happen,only to have their good works cicumvented by the ill will engendered by the unseen administators of the festival. I'd play it for free if I could just sell CD's, and I'd be happy to do it, I've always felt it to be a very important event. Those of you who are able should plan to attend the Working Waterfront Festival imn New Bedford in late Sept. My friend Geno Leech will be out from Astoria,Knut Bell will be out from Seattle,come listen to performances by actual card carrying Sailors and fishermen, smell the bait and get a look at how these festivals should be done. |

Subject: RE: Mystic Seaport Sea Music Festival 2006 From: Charley Noble Date: 10 Aug 06 - 09:40 PM Jon- I sent out an e-mail inquiry about CD payment after 30 days and got a polite e-mail back saying that under the contract in the fine print Roll & Go would be paid within 45 days. They did mail us a check two weeks later. Probably a good idea to re-check your paperwork with them, send them an e-mail and ask why there is a delay. It's entirely possible that they sent your check to JOHN Campbell in Sydney, Australia... Was Danny O'Flaherty a late addition to the performer list? If so it's possible that he's fallen through the cracks left after Craig retired from Mystic. We have photographic evidence that Danny performed there, and would be willing to tesify to that effect. Cheerily, Charley Noble |

Subject: RE: Mystic Seaport Sea Music Festival 2006 From: Celtaddict Date: 10 Aug 06 - 06:11 PM Jon, Danny had not been paid yet either, last time I spoke with him (very recently) for either CDs or the gig itself. Chris, thanks for the reminder, I will put it here and in a separate thread. Any 'Catters in the area? This event is FREE, hosted by the City of New London, through New London Main Street, and Celtic Cause. No clue what is with the 'new management' which so far seems more of the former and less of the latter for this particular event. We are fortunate to have visiting in the area, at the end of August, Danny O'Flaherty, of Connemara and late of New Orleans, for many years the proprietor of O'Flaherty's Irish Channel Pub in the French Quarter, where he played regularly in the Ballad Room. He will be in New London on Saturday, August 26, for Celts & Currachs, the first celtic heritage day in New London, Connecticut. We will have currach rowing instruction in the morning, then food, music, dancing, exhibition racing, and finish up with a concert by Danny at the historic waterfront park of downtown New London. While he is in the area, we would love to help enable more people to hear this very special performer. I am attaching information about Celts & Currachs and about Danny O'Flaherty. If you are interested in having him perform at your venue or home, please contact me at |

Subject: RE: Mystic Seaport Sea Music Festival 2006 From: GUEST,jcampbellwampum Date: 10 Aug 06 - 05:38 PM I wonder if any of the other performers are still waiting to be paid by the NEW store operation, by my reckoning it's now well over the 45 days that they claimed would be the maximum time required to turn the money around on CD sales, just another sea story I guess you know the one that starts" This is no shit....." Barry has some commendable ideas, it seems that the festival is an existing entity which would be attractive to any number of presentors |
|
Subject: RE: Mystic Seaport Sea Music Festival 2006 From: sciencegeek Date: 09 Aug 06 - 12:51 PM put up a few more pics of the currach... I just heard that there will be some activity on the 26th with Danny being there to do demonstrations and a concert. didn't see anything posted on the Mystic website, but haven't checked Danny's website yet. Maybe someone near Mystic can scope it out & post more info for the rest of us. |

Subject: RE: Mystic Seaport Sea Music Festival 2006 From: sciencegeek Date: 08 Aug 06 - 01:21 PM good day, guys... added a few more pics to the currock file and added some photos of the Chanty Cabin gang into a second file. I have dial up at home, so gave up trying to upload from the house, way too painful... arggghhhhh shots of the currock some festival friends |

Still a newbie, so haven't figured out how to rearrange their order yet. And a few more are waiting to go up. but enjoy http://sciencegeek55.u.yuku.com/gallery/ls/aid/19396 Charley Noble says the link works http://sciencegeek55.u.yuku.com/gallery/ls/aid/19396 |

Subject: RE: Mystic Seaport Sea Music Festival 2006 From: Charley Noble Date: 01 Aug 06 - 08:13 PM Probably useful to suggest again that people should be circumspect about their posting, given the apparent vulnerability of the 2007 Mystic Sea Music Festival. PM's or e-mails are less likely to torpedo whatever re-organizing efforts are taking place. And, yes, I'd love as well to know all the bloody details but I'll settle for one more glorious Mystic Sea Music Festival. Charley Noble |

Subject: RE: Mystic Seaport Sea Music Festival 2006 From: dick greenhaus Date: 01 Aug 06 - 06:25 PM This year (2006), I picked up my tickets at the desk, and overheard a staffer pointing out the Seaport's highlights to a bunch of visitors. Mentioned everything except the Sea Music Festival, |

Subject: RE: Mystic Seaport Sea Music Festival 2006 From: Greg B Date: 01 Aug 06 - 05:22 PM Good point on the 'Marketing' thing, Deb. This year, the Seaport's communications Dept didn't even have the Festival up in the front-and-center position on the Seaport Web site until hell was raised on the Wednesday before! Marc, the name I've been given is Jonathan Shay...since the Festival follow-up meetings have already happened I must say that it distresses me that you were neither given this information nor invited to share your insights at those meetings. To me it is either indicative of an abysmal level of internal communications or a failure to properly position resources like yourself to back-fill properly behind Geoff, Rick, and Craig, perhaps both. |

Subject: RE: Mystic Seaport Sea Music Festival 2006 From: Marc Bernier Date: 01 Aug 06 - 04:09 PM I'm glad folks are still talking about this festival. It's a good one. And, the reason it's good is you guy's make it that way. So Greg. Who is this "individual within the Seaport who believes strongly in the value of the event", do I know him? cheers Marc |
|
Subject: RE: Mystic Seaport Sea Music Festival 2006 From: sciencegeek Date: 01 Aug 06 - 02:16 PM glad to see folks are still talking about Mystic. since this thread is getting way cumbersome... I took the liberty of starting a new one for the 2007 festival as a way of making it easier to find comments about next year's effort please don't keelhaul me..... |

Subject: RE: Mystic Seaport Sea Music Festival 2006 From: DebC Date: 31 Jul 06 - 08:59 PM Marketing, marketing, marketing. I am quite sure that the Seaport has a marketing department. It should be used. Ads in Sing Out!, Dirty Linen, Old Time Herald, (any others I am missing?), partnering with Folk Alliance and NERFA, not to mention ads or articles in mainstream newspapers like the Boston Globe, Hartford Courant, NY Times, Providence Journal and others. Radio spots on Folk Music radio all over the Northeast and New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania. I know festival promoters who give free tickets to DJs to give away to their listeners. I am sure Ron O. could speak to that. I was on a three week tour throughout Florida, the Carolinas, and New Jersey and talked up the festival. There were many folks who had never heard of this festival but were excited enough to want to know more. I would be happy to participate in a week-long event at Mystic. I think that could be exciting. BUT... Marketing, marketing, marketing. Is almost as important as location, location, location. Deb (who always has a blast at Mystic) Cowan |

Subject: RE: Mystic Seaport Sea Music Festival 2006 From: Charley Noble Date: 31 Jul 06 - 07:58 PM Barry- You're certainly on a rollllll! ;~)) What's the tune for that rant? Cheerily, Charley Noble |
|
Subject: RE: Mystic Seaport Sea Music Festival 2006 From: Barry Finn Date: 31 Jul 06 - 05:20 PM This is great news Greg B. I no longer work, cos I'm poor (not the other way around) so if I couldn't make it by the Monday before I know I could make it at mid week & as always the seaport could use me as it sees fit. I also have alot that I'd love to see different (if there's money of curse). Ad's going out that would hit all lovers of not only the music but of the tradition & culture in a timelier manner, along with a schedule. About hitting other aspects of the culture, example; Charlie Noble has a couple friends we stayed with on Long Island who (in the pleasant months) work as adventures & naturalist south of the horn & have rounded it no less that 60 times, they do presentations. Cable & rope (hand) splicing techniques, demos, and demo's usage of knot making. Bring in the likes of Master Rigger to do ship demos, New Bedford's not far off & it still has a strong fishing tradition bring that into play. Bring back the quality musicians & singers that are within the tradition including the singer/songwriters & not the ringers that have a few songs that could be past off as something some what related to the sea. Bring over a couple of the Viking replicas & maybe some Columbus Caravels that'll help with the housing & control the drinking. The Adventure from Gloucester may be ready by then, that crowd would love to sail her down & the dogs could all stay onboard, so that settles a few more problems, no more performing dogs, though that mutt was pretty darn good up there (see Dory mate). Do ya wanna sell some of that Live Oak, have a maritime auction? Or at least set some of that Live Oak up & have a mauling competition. Bring in about twenty whores & step up a real sailor town (see Charlie Noble. No, not for the whores). How about a sea poets corner (see Jon Campbell & spell his name right this time). How about a few authors that write about all thing sea, maybe Lin & Larry Pardey-living aboard & cruising, Linda Greenlaw-swordfishing, lobstering & ocean cooking (she's only right up the coast), Roger Abrahams-song collecting from maritime cultures, how about Jeffery Bolster-afro-american influences or Stuart Frank to do a thing on Pirates, that's all the rage now or Horace Beck- folklore of the sea that's not the rage but it's interesting & appropriate. Dingy & dory races & lifeboat & life saving demos. Have I spent enough money yet? Set up a real boarding house & house the performers there & man it with a real pimp & a crimp, the whores can earn a few extra bucks there & any hecklers can get them selves shanghaied out, the Adventure will take 'em for a few dollars more. Sell the performers CD's from a volunteer's tent & the heel with the bloke from San Diego. If there's a couple of extra c-notes floating I might know where I can get a couple of whales (it'll be PC, they're the wash up kind) but you'd have to keep that under your hat. As you can see I'd go for the whole ball of wax but the FOF may want to kick my ass 1st, I'd bleed them dry before they'd wake. Well Greg, I for one would be more than happy to help to keep this festival ongoing but you'd have to sign a disclaimer if you're going to listen to anything that I got to say. Is it a deal? Well alright then. I'm there. Barry |
|
Subject: RE: Mystic Seaport Sea Music Festival 2006 From: Charley Noble Date: 31 Jul 06 - 04:26 PM Greg- Thanks so much for your post above. I think it clarifies things enough so that Roll & Go can make a major donation to express our appreciation for the great time we had this year performing, and the many other festivals that we've enjoyed as volunteers and audience. Cheerily, Charley Noble |
|
Subject: RE: Mystic Seaport Sea Music Festival 2006 From: Charley Noble Date: 30 Jul 06 - 09:04 PM We're still looking for guidance on what kind of support would be most effective. That kind of information can only come from our remaining contacts who still work at the Mystic SeaPort Museum. Feel free to send me such information by PM or e-mail and I'd be happy to post that on Mudcat if that makes sense. Charley Noble |
|
Subject: RE: Mystic Seaport Sea Music Festival 2006 From: GUEST,festival 2007 Date: 30 Jul 06 - 08:33 PM thanks so much for the response, we plan on contributing to the cause later this fall, if that will do any good, we belong the mystic seaport and join yearly, nevertheless thanks for all the great music. |
|
Subject: RE: Mystic Seaport Sea Music Festival 2006 From: GUEST,SJW Date: 24 Jul 06 - 08:49 PM A close friend "and one of those in the know' recently wrote me a note that said"I have kept my ear close to the ground and it seems that the festival will continue". It is my dearest wish that this is true, but it is a very reliable source so I put hope and faith in it. A true festival lover |

Subject: RE: Mystic Seaport Sea Music Festival 2006 From: GUEST,festival 2007 Date: 24 Jul 06 - 07:05 PM does anyone know the date for the next festival, this was our first one, acutally being able to be there, we have heard don many, many times, and love the music, i have to plan way in advance so that is why i am being so impatient, we were so happy to be able to be there this year just by chance and luck, and needless to say were in 7th heaven with all the music, any info would be so appreciated, thanks so much, cathy, fairfax, va |
|
Subject: RE: Mystic Seaport Sea Music Festival 2006 From: Celtaddict Date: 11 Jul 06 - 09:59 PM I have some photos I am happy with (and thanks for asking, Charley, and Marc?) but with some extenuating circumstances here (don't ask) do not know when I will get them up. After the first few went up last year, there were tech problems with the 'Cat and Pene Azul was out of photo-posting commission for a while, and I have not had the time to master the make-your-own-webpage to post yet. I always love to share them, though. Is anyone currently able to put them on the 'Cat? |
|
Subject: RE: Mystic Seaport Sea Music Festival 2006 From: Charley Noble Date: 11 Jul 06 - 06:11 PM I suppose there might be someone who missed a chance to view all the beautiful pictures that are linked above. There were a few more folks who were taking pictures. Have you had time to edit them? I for one would like to see more of what we missed while we were performing. Cheerily, Charley Noble |
|
Subject: RE: Mystic Seaport Sea Music Festival 2006 From: Charley Noble Date: 10 Jul 06 - 06:03 PM Chantyranger- I'm sure you could have heard Don Sineti's dulcet leading "Maui" half away around this wide world, and certainly in New Orleans. May the big feller live long and prosper! Cheerily, Charley Noble |
|
Subject: RE: Mystic Seaport Sea Music Festival 2006 From: Peter Kasin Date: 10 Jul 06 - 04:52 PM Though I was in New Orleans during the festival, I still enjoyed Don Sineti's singing :-). Chanteyranger |

Subject: RE: Mystic Seaport Sea Music Festival 2006 From: GUEST,RPinPA Date: 10 Jul 06 - 03:14 PM Thank, Judy, for all the great pictures you and your dedicated crew provided. They bring back fond memories of this year's festival. I remain highly OptiMystic about next year's festival. Once again thanks for all your work and dedication. |

Subject: RE: Mystic Seaport Sea Music Festival 2006 From: Charley Noble Date: 10 Jul 06 - 09:44 AM Refresh for the benefit of thoe who may have missed JudyB's late Sunday night post! Charley Noble |
|
Subject: RE: Mystic Seaport Sea Music Festival 2006 From: JudyB Date: 09 Jul 06 - 10:52 PM The next round of Mystic photos are sort of posted at my web site. I say "sort of" because I ran out of energy. Charley had all the photos for the Sunday final concert edited and ready to go, and I got them web-sized - but they don't have captions on the link page yet. I'm not likely to get back to this for a while, so I decided to post what I have so the people who have been patiently waiting can at least take a look - even though you may have to click on a link to see who it is! I also don't have any photos from the Saturday night concert - it was a great show and I enjoyed it immensely - and I couldn't take photos from where I was without being rather disruptive, so.... If anyone has some photos from that show they'd like to share, send me a PM and we might be able to work something out. I'll be happy to credit you as I did the photographers from Roll & Go's extended family who took most of the other photos I've posted so far - or put them up as anonymous, if you prefer. I do have several workshops still to go (some great ones of "Chanties at Work" aboard the Morgan - photos there are always such fun, even without people running madly around hauling on ropes and stuff!), and a few more "filler" photos of ships at dusk and wildlife on the walk in from the hotel and such. Anyone have a good source for a few extra hours? There don't seem to be enough in my days lately! Thanks for the nice comments! JudyB |

Subject: RE: Mystic Seaport Sea Music Festival 2006 From: GUEST,Brian Peters Date: 09 Jul 06 - 08:19 AM Next trip over will be April 2007! |
|
Subject: RE: Mystic Seaport Sea Music Festival 2006 From: sciencegeek Date: 09 Jul 06 - 07:48 AM Yes, indeed. It was great fun getting to meet you and listen to your grand songs at both Mystic and Old Songs. I'm sure your wife was just as glad to have you back at home... but do what you can to come and visit us on this side of the pond again. Chris one of the Mystic volunteers :) |
|
Subject: RE: Mystic Seaport Sea Music Festival 2006 From: GUEST,Brian Peters Date: 09 Jul 06 - 06:42 AM Thanks Jeri. I had a good time at Old Songs too. I'm not sure where you are in the US, but e-mail me here if you want to be added to my US mailing list. |

Subject: RE: Mystic Seaport Sea Music Festival 2006 From: Jeri Date: 08 Jul 06 - 09:03 AM Leadfingers is counting posts. I think it's an obsessive-compulsive thing and he's allowed in the BS threads (that aren't obituaries for someone's loved one) but he's not supposed to do it music threads. By the way Brian, I very much enjoyed hearing you at Old Songs! Wish there'd been more time or a house concert somewhere. |

Subject: RE: Mystic Seaport Sea Music Festival 2006 From: GUEST,Brian Peters Date: 08 Jul 06 - 05:39 AM >> Hope you had a good trip over there Brian !! Yes thanks, Terry, it was an excellent trip. Mystic Seaport in particular is a beautiful location and I only wish I could have found more time to look over the exhibits. And the singing in late-night sessions was very impressive - the kind of intensity I don't normally experience outside Sheffield carolling sessions. >> And 200 !! Was this addressed to me too? If so, explain! |

Subject: RE: Mystic Seaport Sea Music Festival 2006 From: Leadfingers Date: 07 Jul 06 - 01:42 PM And 200 !! |

Subject: RE: Mystic Seaport Sea Music Festival 2006 From: JudyB Date: 07 Jul 06 - 12:14 PM Actually, I didn't think you sounded impatient - tho' I'm a bit impatient with myself over it. Thought it would be done last weekend, but a couple of things came up, and you know how it goes.... Charley doesn't have a "real" job in the traditional sense, but I think he's often busier than I am with my fairly standard office-type job. I'd expect it's rather the same for you. And we are happy to know that someone would like to see the pictures - thanks!! JudyB |
|
Subject: RE: Mystic Seaport Sea Music Festival 2006 From: GUEST,Brian Peters Date: 07 Jul 06 - 10:12 AM Didn't mean to appear impatient. I don't have a real job myself, but even so I never have time for what I want to do either! Brian |
