Nicole’s Album
Long Hot Summer Days
These songs are some of my favorites from my adventures over the last few years. Much of this material comes from my time as a student with the Williams-Mystic Maritime Studies Program, as a deckhand aboard the schooner Mystic Whaler, and as an onboard educator for the Hudson River Sloop Clearwater. I’ve sung most of these songs with my shipmates, and the ones I didn’t sing on board still reflect that maritime work experience, or have helped me remember and make sense of it as I moved towards land life and into the traditional music scene as a singer and organizer. These days I’m an art teacher and ceramic artist. I still sing a lot with my friends and housemates, and with my former shipmates when we can. Sometimes I even get to sing with my students. They are delighted that “Singer” is my real last name.
