Dear fellow Hanoverians:<\/p>\n
What are you going to do with the kids during April vacation?!<\/p>\n
David Coffin, a musician, singer, storyteller, educator and maritime
\nspecialist, will present "Life At Sea: A Voyage In Song" at the library on
\nTuesday, April 20 at 4:00 p.m. The musical program recreates a voyage on an
\nold New England whaling ship, with the audience members acting as the ship’s
\ncrew. Mr. Coffin will lead the audience in singing sea shanties, "hoisting
\nthe sails", and acting out other shipboard activities. Playing the
\nconcertina and other instruments, he is particularly skilled at getting a
\nwhole audience singing. There will also be a special appearance by his
\nfriend, "Pierre with the bad hair". The program is very interactive, full
\nof humor, and informative as well as entertaining. <\/p>\n
Mr. Coffin is a descendant of the Nantucket Coffins, one of the most
\nprominent American seafaring families. He is a multitalented performer who
\nhas been singing and playing music at hundreds of venues all over the
\ncountry for more than 20 years. He regularly presents educational programs
\nat schools around New England. <\/p>\n
This program is supported by a grant from the Hanover Cultural Council, a
\nlocal agency which is supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a
\nstate agency. The program is designed for families with children in
\nkindergarten and older. Free tickets are available in advance at the
\nlibrary, and all are welcome. For more information, please call
