Shanty Session @ Press Room (NH) From: curmudgeon The monthly shanty, forebitter, ballad session will happen at the Press Room in Portsmouth NH on Sat. 18 September from 3:30 to 7:30 PM. And since it is September, this session will also be a dress rehearsal for this event. Hope to see lots of you for both - Tom |

19 Sep 10 - 10:41 AM (#2989696) Subject: RE: Sept. Shanty Session @ Press Room (NH) From: Bat Goddess Really nice session. Started out a very intimate little group, but expanded dramatically before the first hour was up. Let's see, roll call -- Tom and me, Mark Ryer, Jeri, Chris Maden, Barbara Benn, Jeff Warner, Alexander Thompson and Liz from Gloucester, Marty Stock, Justine and Natalie, a new fellow named Jim... I'll amend this later (I took notes; my random access memory is getting more and more random; sigh.) I'll also post a list of what was sung, played or recited -- I know Charley Noble will want to know. (Smile.) Linn |
