There is not much keeping the younger generation there, as witnessed by a young man named Brock who has just accepted a job out of town, despite meaning that he will have to leave his grandmother on her own. In its heyday, the town did have a popular community choir led for sixty years by the beloved Margaret Lee Tawes until her retirement fifteen years ago. Since her death, much of her legacy has been memorialized, almost like they have been cast in stone to remain as are for eternity, with Crisfield to remain stuck in time. Regardless, the loss of the choir has meant a loss in a community building activity, and has placed a rift between generations: those that knew her, especially those that sung in the choir, and those that didn't know her. To build up Crisfield's sense of community, Gareth wants to revive a choir there. He knows he has an initial hurdle in possibly coming across as a pretender to Miss Margaret Lee's throne, especially being an obvious foreigner in a town where most residents have lived there all their lives. In it being a true representation of Crisfield, Gareth believes it is crucial to have watermen as part of the choir. A proclamation that Gareth makes early in the week has the potential to derail the entire process, and he has to consider carefully what he will do about it to get the townsfolk in his corner. Gareth feels more than anything that Crisfield has get out from the past to move forward in a positive sense. Written by Huggo See less
