OK - those are just the ones I can remember off the top of my head without any cheat notes. And it doesn't include the dozens of chanty groups or sea music folks I've seen.

And the fact that I received a concussion at a Black Flag show probably impairs my memory somewhat as well.

I've been meaning to do that for awhile. Thanks for putting up with me. And if you remember seeing me at a show that's not listed here....remind me.
