I sailed with Uncle Paul on the Schooner Maggie out of Rockland in the summer of '51. The enclosed photo shows him front and center with Maggie's owner Dayton O Newton strumming a guitar and singing sea chanteys in the main cabin. Dayton was one of Paul's professors at the Berklee School of Music in Boston. This photo is from a National Geographic article in 1952. The windjammer cruise left Rockland each Sunday and returned the following Saturday. Evidently, this photo was snapped in midweek...the biggest night of the week happened each Friday. Paul set the mood in the main cabin, thumping on a tom-tom(?) while everyone chanted, "Zoooom-ba, Zoooom-ba."  Enter left: A volunteer in a grass skirt and large-enough oyster shells.

Two or three years before this entertainment, I witnessed a musical review in Revere in which Paul was the romantic lead singing something Carousel-like to the female lead. Wish we had iPhone cameras in those days, circa 1949.

Next things we knew, Uncle Paul married Aunt Marion and baked a thousand pies...as I recall she operated an eatery or some sort.
