GUEST,Nick Quick Sea Shanty Questions (29) RE: Quick Sea Shanty Questions 29 Apr 07

1. How did you get started singing Sea Shanties and Sea Songs?
2. How do you learn your songs? Where do you find them?
3. Do you teach others your songs? If so in what way?
4. Who or where have you learned most of your sea music from?
5. Would you say the internet is helping or harming the traditional sea music? How?

1) I think everyone knows the tune 'What do you do with a drunken sailor" a sea song. now shanties I have come to lean are different. Mostly I got started after hearing Great Big Sea, a band from Newfoundland.
2. Great Big Sea CDs and Stan Hugils book, a record Called "Blow Boys Blow" Also the Digitrad data base.
3. I assault them by playing my pennywhistle on breaks in the parking lot.
4 See above also listening to CJYQ an am radio staion from St. Johns at radionewfoundland.net
5. Helping, otherwise I would never have had a chance to hear or read most of the material

oh did I mention GBS?
