For anybody up in the great PNW....this comming Friday the Tall Ship Adventuress is down at the Lake Union Pier and there will be a shanty sing aboard some where around 7:30 pm or so....get there early as it is usually an overflow crowd...Broadsides and the Handsome Cabin Boys are leading...and I believe Pint and Dale are back in town and just might be there....

Question......To what Rc. should a soft frizzen be hardened to? Is it a through hardening or not? Thanks for any help!!!! darkRose........

For a voice as you have described...I always found "The Final Trawl" a great song!

Is anybody coming up this way for Steam Con here in Seattle??????????

Just a note on William and Felicias schedule....was just at there sight and a few too many to cut and paste so if you are interested in some really great music of the sea, whether long haul shanys, capstain or forebiters... check out the Upcomming Dates area of www.pintndale.com. you will be glad you did. darkRose

For all you out there on the east coast keep weather eye for the duo you have heard me speak of in the past...William Pint and Felicia Dale are headed out your way for various festivals, recording sessions and house concerts.....I will be gettin some more information exactly where soon....If you have not heard them, give a listen...you'll like what you hear. i was at Seattles Folklife Festival last year and picked up a Smithsonian recording of sea shanties from 1974...through the liner notes found that William had a cut on the album...he's been around for a while...and Felicia works in perfect harmony with him and she plays the Hurdy Gurdy...and well) So anyways....Keep your eyes open for pint and Dale.....
