Alan Lomax did not understand shipboard work very well. There is another interview he did with, I think, some South Sea Islanders where they were singing a capstan shanty and he kept asking,"So where's the pull?" Finally the guy being interviewed, in obvious frustration, shouts back to Lomax something like, "There's no pull, it's a capstan shanty" |
