> Our story: how it all started.

> Shanty Big Sings, thus far 		Linn Phipps and Jim Lucas have been hosting a series of shanty singing sessions on Zoom, each one dedicated to a particular theme, which could be a single shanty or family of shanties, but perhaps something broader, such as Cape Horn. And we've now expanded that to include themed forebitters, as well as actual shanties. The various participants contribute their particular versions, all collected into a "Big Sing" view of that theme. The sessions are recorded, then posted on YouTube for later viewing by anyone who is interested.

Here (links on the left) you can learn about the next in the series and how you can participate, either as a singer or simply to listen as it happens.

You'll also find information and links for the Big Sings that we've already done. 		web pages by Jim Lucas
