We will do the rounds and part songs and skip the ballads for this setting.
For all the birds: instrumental, vocal, last section (Nose, nose...) on instruments. Ishmael likes the tenor part on this one, so he’s singing tenor and Bruce is singing bass.
We be souldiers three: Instrumental, vocal, last section on instruments.
We be three poor mariners: Instrumental, verse one vocal, recorders, verse two vocal, instrumental.
Most rounds: unison, parts until Laura signals either stop (pointing up) where we all stop together at the end of the section, or trail off (hand out flat), where we all sing to the end and then stop.
As I me walked: Unison verse one, parts verses 1-4, parts verse one, trail off.
The short list is:
This can be adjusted slightly, but speak up now if you have a problem.
(Discussion of where to eat, involving many options that didn’t sound like they would work very well, redacted.)
We (Barney and I) decided on the Watertown Diner, 627 Mt. Auburn St., Watertown, (617) 926-8400.
Here are straightforward directions from our Walk site:
Alternatively, Barney writes:
Arlington and Grove Streets form that wishbone you see growing out of Mount Auburn Street. Our site for the walk is in-between the two. You know that curving street that goes straight up hill just to the right of us. That leads to Grove Street, which becomes the larger of the two thereafter. Arlington is the smaller street, but it has two advantages. the first is that it connects with North Beacon Street, the second is that you can turn left earlier than Mount Auburn and look for parking. One place to do that is Nichols Street, which is just after the railroad tracks. The last opportunity to do that is Wells Street, which is between the Armenian and Greek churches (unless they are on Bigelow Street). Otherwise, you are stuck making a left turn on a busy street. Besides the Watertown Diner is coming up fast after you turn on to Mount Auburn.
I think if you know Watertown, (or have someone with you who does, this will be helpful. Otherwise, stick to the major streets.
