A rare treat! There's shanty singing in New Orleans this weekend (Sunday, 11/4) at O'Flaherty's 514 Toulouse Street 504-529-1317 in the French Quarter. Geoff Kaufman, Mystic's leading shantyman, will be the feature set. Shamelessly, Ship'scat will open.

Come on out at 8PM for a modest ($10) cover and support singing TOGETHER in the Big Easy

The (almost) regular First Friday (11/2) Comhaltas monthly sing will serve as a warmup for Sunday and will be held at Mick's Irish Pub 4801 Bienville Avenue (at Bernadotte), 482-9113 also around 8

Wish I was there. The wife could drop me off on her way to her idea of seventh heaven in Cajunland, and I could get drunk on Shanties. It's no good. I'll just have to win the lottery.

Thanks for letting us know! Don't know if we can swing an overnighter down there or not, but would love to try.

Dead Horse,

I sympathize with you pal. I wish that I could hit the lotto for about twenty million. Then I could make arrangements to send my harpy wife off to the big Shoney's buffet in the sky, then recruit a hot bodied little twenty year old who is subservient enough to sit at home while I get shitfaced in Irish Pubs.

I am SO jealous! Gosh I wish I could be there! Y'all will just have to have fun without me.

To Al Bundy, Man, if you won twenty million, you'd be too busy fighting off the twenty year olds to even THINK about getting shit-faced. Better the devil you know;-)

If its only money your wanting, we've a a fine (uncrowded) casino a few blocks from the "pub". Throwing the little cubes is more fun than lining up at the Piggly Wiggly.

See you'all down by the levy.

Shanties on the airwaves! Ship'scat will be a guest on Tulane's WTUL (91.5FM) "Folk" show between 11AM and 1PM. We'll chat, sing and play shanties and sea music.

The station says with their new antenna, they can be heard as far away as Belle Chasse and Chalmette. Keep those shrimp boots stompin'!

How about WTUL on SATURDAY 11/3. That should help.

Greetings and all the best from the chantey singers in the San Francisco bay area.
