Matthew B. | John Ashton: Real Sailor Songs (20) | RE: John Ashton: Real Sailor Songs | 05 Oct 99 |
I have that same book. Just a warning though. Most of the songs in it are not the type of sea shanty we're used to, but instead they're the ballads and other tunes that sailors sang on ship whether they were about the sea or not. Kind of like a "Top 40 hits" of the day that sailors (and landsmen) sang on board the ships as they did when on land. |
