WELCOME

Between the Devil and the Deep is an old sailor's saying indicating the space between the bulwork and outswide of the hull. One had to hang over to tar and caulk it. Today its like being between a rock and a hard place.

THE BITTER END

Judy and I started singing sea songs and chanteys way back in the late seventies. We called ourselves the Bitter End. In the eighties we started singing for others and hoped to make enough money to purchase amplification equipment. We sang monthly at Canetti’s Restaurant in San Pedro, California. We became more known and we able to sing at the LA Maritime Museum, Yacht Clubs, and a concert series in Anaheim. As we traveled around the country we sang in Florida, Maryland (for the Governor’s party), through out the Caribbean, Venezuela, Trinidad, and Columbia, SA. I am telling you all this because after a three year hiatus, we played last Saturday at the Granby Library. There between twenty and thirty people there. All of us had a lot of fun, but we did not sing (or play) as well as we used to. So, back to practice. After the concert we were bushed and it took me two days to recuperate. At least that is my excuse for not posting on Monday as I had promised. I will do better in the future.
