Our beloved Don Sineti crossed the bar last evening. He leaves an unfillable void in our world of chanteys and maritime music, and much more. His heart was as big as his voice and who can count the numbers of souls he touched. As one who brought him onto the Chantey staff at Mystic Seaport Museum over thirty years ago and had the chance to do numerous performances with him over the years, particularly for the Williams/Mystic program, I will treasure those special times.
May we all now celebrate who Don was and what he gave to this maritime music community.
