22 Jan 13 - 05:58 PM (#3470137) Subject: RE: Mystic (CT) Sea Music Festival 2013 From: ChanteyLass According to this http://www.mysticseaport.org/index.cfm?fuseaction=home.viewPage&page_id=47E8BDB0-65B8-D398-7B968471E18B4FAD , it appears the symposium will be back at Avery Point, UConn. Also note that the date for submission of papers is rapidly approaching. |

22 Feb 13 - 09:55 PM (#3482711) Subject: RE: Mystic (CT) Sea Music Festival 2013 From: ChanteyLass I must correct myself! According to this thread http://www.mudcat.org/thread.cfm?threadid=149651&messages=1, it appears that Friday's Symposium will be at the US Coast Guard Academy. Marc Bernier, who started the new thread, is an insider at the seaport. However, this site http://www.mysticseaport.org/index.cfm?fuseaction=home.viewPage&page_id=47E8BDB0-65B8-D398-7B968471E18B4FAD still indicates(as of now) that it is at UConn's Avery Point campus! I hope that will be updated soon. I will keep checking right up until the start of the festival, and I'm sure the correct site will be announced at Thursday night's concert! |

08 Mar 13 - 01:10 AM (#3487857) Subject: RE: Mystic (CT) Sea Music Festival 2013 From: KathyW The group from Poland is "Sąsiedzi" (which means "The Neighbors," they tell me). I saw them a couple of years ago in Bay City, Michigan at the tall ships festival there. They are excellent!

15 Apr 13 - 01:29 PM (#3503807) Subject: RE: Mystic (CT) Sea Music Festival 2013 From: GUEST,sciencegeek good for you... even if it's only for a few hours a day/night... what do we call the after pub sing, but not yet dawn time? I'm going to try once again to get there early enough on Thurs. to actually make the concert & pub sing... here's hoping no last minute crisis arises. Is McAllister Hall the same buidling we used 2 years ago? |

15 Apr 13 - 10:21 PM (#3504045) Subject: RE: Mystic (CT) Sea Music Festival 2013 From: ChanteyLass I don't know if it is the same building. If it is, it must be a different part of the building. Two years ago we were in a dining hall (if I remember correctly), but this time it sounds like we will be in an auditorium. As I recall, two years ago we got directions to parking and the building when we got to the gate. There's a map here, but I don't have a printer. Off to the library to use their's! http://www.cga.edu/campus2.aspx?id=50 |

02 May 13 - 11:00 PM (#3511180) Subject: RE: Mystic (CT) Sea Music Festival 2013 From: ChanteyLass I hope I get to meet all of you Mudcatters! Charley, maybe that was a typo, but the Morgan will be relaunched on July 21st, not the 27th. I plan to be there. For an extra fee, one can watch from the Sabino. I will not be doing that, although I am sure that would be a lot of fun. For anyone who is interested, information for reservations to watch from the Sabino can be found on the lower right side of this webpage. http://www.mysticseaport.org/index.cfm?fuseaction=home.viewPage&page_id=6848EB0D-1E4F-379B-606527C0FA7AC20F |

16 May 13 - 07:57 PM (#3515972) Subject: RE: Mystic (CT) Sea Music Festival 2013 From: Charley Noble Yes, I've noticed that the re-launching of the Charles W. Morgan was moved up from July 27 to July 20. I still plan to be there. The Mystic Sea Music Festival itself is coming up fast, June 6-9, for all who love to hear good nautical music, and be in a space where hundreds of voices rise to the choruses. Here's a link: http://www.mysticseaport.org/index.cfm?fuseaction=home.viewPage&page_id=C9BE0FCF-D86E-382C-FA65352B6393646D I'll be there as a Guest Performer singing with Jon Campbell and Mary Garvey in their Fisheries Workshop. Cheerily, Charley Noble |

17 May 13 - 12:11 AM (#3516036) Subject: RE: Mystic (CT) Sea Music Festival 2013 From: ChanteyLass Peter, the coolest thing, in my opinion, will be singing on the Morgan. Charley, there is a Morgan pre-launch party on July 20, but the actual launch is on July 21. I'm glad you'll be a guest performer. Sciencegeek, my ChanteyLass nametag is already dangling from my car's rearview mirror! Anyone who wants to meet me, i will probably be wearing a wide-brimmed yellow cloth hat with a Mystic Seaport member's sticker on the crown and carrying my own folding chair or a cane with a fold-down seat.. |

17 May 13 - 09:10 AM (#3516128) Subject: RE: Mystic (CT) Sea Music Festival 2013 From: Charley Noble ChantyLass- Thanks for the clarification on the Morgan dates. I'll probably be bringing some friends with me as well for the re-launching July 21. Charley Noble |

26 May 13 - 02:45 PM (#3519428) Subject: RE: Mystic (CT) Sea Music Festival 2013 From: ChanteyLass That sounds great. Even though I live only about an hour from Mystic, I never got to the Sea Music Festival until I retired. In my job, June was a busy month and I never had the time or energy to go. |
|
27 May 13 - 10:10 PM (#3519885) Subject: RE: Mystic (CT) Sea Music Festival 2013 From: ChanteyLass I was at the seaport today for its Memorial Day observation. I bought my all-access pass for the festival. I also renewed my membership for another two years. And the Rotary Club was holding it's annual Lobster Days fundraiser all weekend. It was a pretty expensive day but lots of fun. And there was more music than usual because of the holiday. However, there was no Dead Horse Ceremony. It appears that for now that is only being done on weekdays. |

03 Jun 13 - 11:28 PM (#3522470) Subject: RE: Mystic (CT) Sea Music Festival 2013 From: ChanteyLass If all else fails, you might be able to catch a Peter Pan bus to Providence and call me. Departure times are 11:15 AM and 5:30 PM, and it looks like each route has one stopover. It also looks like each bus will take you to the Peter Pan terminal in Providence, which is what you want. If the driver offers the option of getting off at Kennedy Plaza in downtown Providence, it would be much harder for me to pick you up there. It will take about 90 minutes for me to drive you from Providence to Mystic (but it would take me only an hour if you were flying to Providence, which is really Warwick). It would also be harder for me to find you at Kennedy Plaza than at the terminal. I'm not even sure if I could park the car near the plaza to get out to look for you! If you do take the bus to Providence, call me. Also see the PM I sent a few minutes ago and the new one I'll send with my landline number. |

04 Jun 13 - 04:12 PM (#3522740) Subject: RE: Mystic (CT) Sea Music Festival 2013 From: Charley Noble mg- I'll be in and around the entry hall about 5 pm on Thursday if you'd like to share a quick and inexpensive supper before the evening show at 7 pm. I probably will be wearing a blue denim Greek sailor hat, and will answer to either "Charley Noble" or "Charlie Ipcar." I will have nearby wheels. Cheerily, Charley Noble |

05 Jun 13 - 08:30 AM (#3522994) Subject: RE: Mystic (CT) Sea Music Festival 2013 From: MMario Depending on traffic I MAY make the Thursday concert. it'll be my first time to make the ENTIRE festival if so.... usually I don't make it until Friday evening. |

05 Jun 13 - 08:45 AM (#3523000) Subject: RE: Mystic (CT) Sea Music Festival 2013 From: Abby Sale About 5? Sounds good. I seem to recall you are an ardent teetotaler, though. That could compromise the pleasure. Anyone else? |

05 Jun 13 - 10:03 PM (#3523275) Subject: RE: Mystic (CT) Sea Music Festival 2013 From: ChanteyLass I'm another one who will show up on Thursday, definitely in time for the concert. Laura Travis, who usually hosts the Sunday afternoon closing concert, promoted the festival on her radio program Celtic Realm (WRIU, Wednesdays 6-9 PM). Her guests were Jon Campbell, Bonnie and Dan Milner, and Mary Garvey, so Mary has made it safely to this part of the world. |

10 Jun 13 - 10:21 PM (#3525058) Subject: RE: Mystic (CT) Sea Music Festival 2013 From: ChanteyLass Nice? Understatement (Big Grin)! I had a wonderful time, even with the downpour throughout Friday evening's concert under the roof of the boat shed. Thank goodness for the dropdown canvas sides of the shed. I enjoyed the music, appreciated the variety of presentations at the symposium, and loved the pub sings. I also was thrilled to meet some Mudcatters but wish I could have met all or you who were at the festival. Maybe next time you go . . . . Next year's festival will be the 35th on June 12-15, 2014, assuming that it runs for four days. (One year it had to be cut back to three days.) I am basing those dates on the announcement that the symposium will be June 13-14, and proposals for papers (History, Folklore, Literature, Ethnomusicology or other appropriate disciplines that address any appropriate aspect of music or verse of the sea or inland waters from the Age of Sail through the present day. Graduate students are encouraged to submit proposals.for symposium papers and a brief curriculum vitae or resume to Dr Glenn S. Gordinier via e-mail at glenn-gordinier@mysticseaport.org by February 7, 2014.) are already being sought. Please note that June 15, the Sunday of the festival, will also be Father's Day. Taking your dad to the festival will be a great gift! Also, Geoff Kaufman said there might be a ChanteyBlast in September. I hope it won't conflict with the Portsmouth Maritime Festival or the New Bedford Working Waterfront Festival! It's bad enough that January's Chantey Blasts have conflicted with the 24-hour Moby Dick readings at the New Bedford Whaling Museum! |

11 Jun 13 - 02:30 PM (#3525303) Subject: RE: Mystic (CT) Sea Music Festival 2013 From: Charley Noble There were a lot of highlights for me. There were the old friends I only get to see about once a year. There were the new people I get to hear sing and share stories and songs with after during the wee hours of the morning. There were the Museum grounds and ships; I could just live there forever if they'd let me. I only lasted this year at the YTB late night sings until about 2:30 AM. I just don't have the stamina anymore to make it until the sun rises. Thanks again to everyone who helped make it so much fun. And the new CDs I bought and swapped carried me all the way back to Maine. Cheerily, Charley Noble |

I find him a very interesting person, researcher and songwriter. And he's also a world renown expert on "Termite Farts." Glad to hear that you got back safe, mg. Charley Noble |

Thank heavens. I think I have some nice family pictures on it. Took zero pictures at Mystic although opportunities surrounded me. It was all quite awesome. Thanks Charlie for hauling me around to security to report it..I called them and told them it was found. One of my favorite memories is hearing Danny Spooner singing Caller Herrin..I really didn't know the song..was aware of it..but he just nails it..here is a link from another time he sang it..http://ecti.english.illinois.edu/Media/Ballads/CallerHerrin.mp3 Sorry I don't have that song on cannery cd, which also includes fisher lassies etc..oh..last night I googled caller herrin history and there is a 1947 Scottish Film Board film by the name..also at last one short film of the herring or fish lassies....Well..perhaps I can use it on a future run of cd...reminds me, I should tell people it is out..well, it is out for $10 plus shipping...$2.25 in US and more in Canada and who knows how much elsewhere. But if you bought a bunch shipping gets very cheap in US with media mail. |

Remember, if you come back to Mystic, New Bedford, or anywhere in RI, look at flights to Providence. Let me know before you book your flights and I'll tell you if I'll be available provide transportation when you land or depart. This goes for anyone else flying toward those destinations. I won't do Hartford, New London, or Boston, but Providence is really Warwick and I live in a neighboring town. |

I don't know what the hours are for each these places, though, but if I transported you I'd make sure you had access to some kind of food. |
