Notes: There was a stairwell in the old Glendale Mall that had awesome acoustics. I know this because one day, on a whim, Ken Langell and I sang a chanty in there. Only we weren't alone. Up top people had gathered silently. They wouldn't come down for fear of interrupting us, Sea Chantys bubbling forth from stairwells are ... uncommon. Folks were surprised and delighted.

At song's end applause rained down. Our turn to be surprised and delighted.

We took that show on the road for a few years (less the stairwell). What a time. When you are twenty something and the newly discovered world of traditional music lands in your lap like a great big, delicious cake ... there's no way you can eat too much of it.

That was at least 35 years ago.
