16 Dec 09 - 05:39 PM (#2789901) Subject: Dec. Shanty Session @ Press Room (NH) From: curmudgeon The annual December shanty/forebitter/ballad/seasonal song session will be happening at the Press Room in Portsmouth NH this Saturday,19 December from 3:30 to 7:30 PM. I still don't have a voice, but it will return, and for now I have a concertina and a thirst which can be slaked more than previously. And for future reference, mark your calendars for the Barry Finn Memorial Session on the third Saturday in June. Since I am writing from the famed West End of Boston, I have not the werewithal to give you a specific date yet. See you Saturday. Wassail - Tom |
