My wife JudyB did the recording, editing, and website.

For me, producing the CD at this time is primarily an attempt to draw attention to some nautical poems by others that I think make great songs as I've musically arranged them. I feel similarly about the songs I've found that have lost their tunes and that I've musically arranged. The "Pearl Diver" is in another category, the only song included that I haven't tampered with but it's there because I felt that it needed to be re-introduced before it was completely forgotten. My own songs may or may not hold up to my same standards but they're at least out there for consideration.

I have no objection to anyone singing any of these songs that are my composition or musically arranged by myself. However, if you're planning to RECORD one please contact me to secure a legal release.

I would love to hear the shanty session aboard the James Craig in Darling Harbour, New South Wales, putting together a version of "Wake Up Susianna."

Cheerily,
Charley Noble
