I just spoke to Michael Parr of the Salem National Historic Site about
the performance schedule for this weekend's 17th Annual Salem Maritime
festival. He was not sure if the schedule would be published in the
local Salem newspaper. However, there will be programs at the festival.

Since I was trying to write the list down as Michael dictated it,
there may be spelling mistakes:

Saturday:
10:00 Michael O'Leary and friends (I did not get the name of the
         group)
11:00 Geoff Kaufman (from Mystic)
12:00 Poor Richard's Penny
  1:00 Danny Spooner
  2:00 Ye Mariners All (We know John Roberts won't be part of the
         group this weekend)
  3:00 Tiaras (sp?)
  4:00 New England Rhythm Collection
  5:30 Jambalaya Jazz Band (start time approximate)

Sunday:

12:00 Tiaras (sp?)
  1:00 Danny Spooner
  2:00 Ye Mariners All
  3:00 Daisy Nell & Capt. Stan
  4:00 New Bedford Harbor Sea Shanty Chorus

  5:00 Pub Sing (not part of the official festival) @
         O'Neill's Pub & Restaurant, 120 Washington Street, Salem

Does anyone have photos of the last chantey sing? We would love to have them
posted to the
Yahoo! group site. If you're willing to do this yourself, it's very easy:

Click Photos Help for assistance.

If you're more comfortable with email, you can email them to me
(info@...) and I
will post them. Look forward to seeing your photos soon!

Thanks,
Lynn Noel

As requested, I've posted some of the photos I took at the July shanty
session at MIT.  The photos aren't great - I only had my little
camera, and the lighting there is challenging - but they do give a
sense of the session, I think.  Lynn - I think I made an album for the
July session and a sub-album for my photos (new to Yahoo groups) - I
know other folks had cameras there, so wasn't sure how you wanted to
handle that.  Feel free to rearrange them any way that seems to work
for you.

Thanks,
Judy

Going to a chantey sing? A maritime festival? Have a sea music gig? Please
update the group
calendar! I have been busily adding events I'm aware of for the fall, which will
also help us
schedule future chantey sings and minimize conflicts where possible.
Massachusetts events
have highest priority for scheduling the MIT sing, but let's say the group range
is a day's
drive from Boston: NY, CT, RI, MA, NH, VT, ME, and perhaps eastern Canada.

While you're at it, where are the most important sites for sea music in the
Northeast? Add
some URLs to our Links section for venues and other organizations of interest to
sea
musicians. I've started with a few examples: add your descriptions of what this
link has to
offer.

Help us build a magnet site for chanteys in New England and the Northeast.
What's your sea
music calendar look like? What are your favorite bookmarks?

Thanks,
Lynn

Hi April and others,

I don't have much more info than you do. When I saw Jeff Warner at
Summerfest, he said that the festival was going on. However, Jeff was
no longer actively involved in the organization. Peter Contrastano,
the other principal organizer is now in North Carolina.

When I just checked Peter's site: http://www.folkhorizons.org/, he had
a link to the festival, with the date of 24-25 September.

Check it out.

Bill

e-mailed them a month or so ago, and I haven't heard back.

Hello,
I have posted my pictures from 8/14.  These are lower resolution
copies.  Let me know if you want an original.
There is a chantey sing this Saturday 8/20 at the Press Room in
Portsmouth, NH. It goes from 3:30pm until about 7pm.  Email me if you
want details.

Because September is racing season at the MIT Sailing Pavilion, we will be
exploring the
waterfront across the harbor for our September sing. Kudos to David Kessler and
the MIT
Nautical Gallery for finding us this new venue.

Piers Park has a sailing center and a greenway on the pier, featuring stone
gazebos
dedicated to the original Noddle's Island and to Donald McKay. Bonus points to
anyone
who comes prepared to tell us--or sing us--more about either one!

Around us will be the annual East Boston Harborfest, and we will encourage
festival
participants to join us. Our regular singing session begins at 1:30 to
accommodate the
Harvestfest September 11 Memorial at 1:00.

Piers Park is a short walk from Maverick T, and we'll send an update as we learn
more
about available parking. See you in East Boston on Sept. 11!

For more information, email David Kessler at contact@....

Hi All,

For those of you who weren't at today's Chantey Sing, at the Piers
Park Harvestfest, you missed a great sing. We met in a gazebo on a
pier in Boston harbor. The singing was superb, as always. The view of
Boston harbor was fabulous, with many boats and ships passing in the
background.

Just to make the weekend of 23-25 September crazier than it already
was, with the Boston Folk Festival and the Portsmouth Maritime
Folk Festival, I just found out about another festival that weekend.
The New Bedford Working Waterfront Festival appears to have a
fantastic lineup.

You can find much more information about the festival, including
performer bios and the schedule, on their website:
http://workingwaterfrontfestival.org/

The Working Waterfront Festival is free.

The performers include:

The Beans

Jon Campbell
Culture*Park
Gary Fish and the Bottom Feeder Band

"I handled her, I dandled her,
And found to my surprise,
She was nothing but a fire ship,
Rigged up in a disguise.

She had a dark and a rolling eye,
And her hair hung down in ringalets.
She was a nice girl, a decent girl,
But one of the rakish kind."

http://ingeb.org/songs/asistrol.html

We had a splendidly rakish demonstration by Boston Harbor's own Fire Ship this
weekend.
Come visit the Photos section of our site for new photos of the Piers Park
gazebo and Boston
Harbor. Video coming soon!
