12 Mar 17 - 06:58 PM (#3844527) Subject: March Press Room [NH] Shanty Sing From: Bat Goddess The March Shanty, Forebitter and Foc's'le Ballad Session will be this Saturday, March 18, 2017, from 3:30 to 7:30 PM at The Press Room on Daniel Street in Portsmouth, NH. Maybe this week's weather mayhem will be over on Wednesday (where it might still interfere with my Voicearound session; sigh), though Accuweather suggests we may have some more snow on Friday with possible flurries on Saturday. Let's get together and sing and drive the winterish weather away! Live, participatory music -- especially singing with friends! -- makes the world a better place and us more healthy. And definitely improves our disposition. Linn |

18 Mar 17 - 09:36 AM (#3845506) Subject: RE: March Press Room [NH] Shanty Sing From: Jeri Cruise crud. It started 24 days ago, so I'd guess it hasn't been "catchy" for quite a while. Besides, it doesn't seem to want to leave ME, anyway. |

18 Mar 17 - 12:53 PM (#3845529) Subject: RE: March Press Room [NH] Shanty Sing From: Bat Goddess Just (12:45 pm -- 15 minutes ago) got a call from a fellow named Steve in Hampton who just found the session on some websit and called for more information. Pretty good chance of seeing him today. Linn |

20 Mar 17 - 02:44 PM (#3845855) Subject: RE: March Press Room [NH] Shanty Sing From: Bat Goddess Sorry it's taken me so long to post. I hope I smiled and faked it so no one noticed on Saturday that I was in the depths of my St. Patrick's Day Blue Funk (and this year was a convergence of a whole lot of underlying stuff) -- some people have trouble with the Christmas or end of the year holidays; I have trouble with St. Patrick's Season. I think I've snapped out of it -- I'm out of bed and dressed and everything. And getting stuff done. Anyway, we had quite a turnout! Including Brian Dunn whom I haven't seen for close to ten years. The crew was me, Hutch, Ranger1, Charlie, Dianne, Bill & Gina Dunlap, a full complement of Finns -- Jim, Gail, Emily, and Amanda, Don Hale, Bill & Carol, Mike Modern, Jeff Keller & Persis, April & Eric, Justine for a little bit, Bruce MacIntyre,and Gail& Janice.
