Work o' the Weavers Cruise

[Joanandjoe]

On Sunday, 5/20 we saw our second concert by a group called Work o'the Weavers. They are an authorized cover group for the original Weavers--Pete Seeger, Lee Hayes, Ronnie Gilbert, and Fred Hellerman--who had a lot of huge hits in the late 40s and early 50s, and were the inspiration for such later groups as the Kingston Trio, Limeliters, Peter Paul & Mary, Brothers Four, etc. The three surviving Weavers (everyone except Lee Hayes) support the group and sometimes appear with them.

The concert was fantastic. Why is that relevant to CC, other than the fact that we all seem happy when other members have a good time? Because they were giving out flyers for a Work o' the Weavers theme cruise on the Carnival Victory next summer, August 9 to 14, 2008. The cruise will be New York round trip, with two sea days, shore days on Halifax and St. John, aq cocktail party, and two Work o' the Weavers concerts.

Will we go? Probably not, because we've already had three Canada-New England cruises, August is perhaps my busiest month at work, and a ship that will have over 3,000 PAX including kids is too big for us. Crazies who can travel in August might enjoy the cruise very much.

I am not familiar with the cruise packager, Fan Club Cruises. The web site for this particular cruise is http://www.fanclubcruises.com/weavers.htm . If you're interested, you can check the web site. If you're interested in Work o' the Weavers, we can give more information.
