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

We won't make it either - going up country to visit a good friend.

Missed the last two, and I'm planning on being there TODAY for this one.

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.)

Jacqui and I spent the day with Maeve and True Love. Sorry we missed this but we'll be at the festival.

Linn-

Happy to hear that you had some good singers attending.

We're recruiting some more folks over here in the UK to attend the next session.
