Respectfully submitted from Skip, 22-year veteran of the San Francisco Maritime Museum (Nat'l Historic Park) To Fenian and other interested musicians: A Sailor Ain't a Sailor(Last Shanty)was Tom Lewis' first written song and ably and performed by him on his tape " Surfacing",a Canadian 1987 ASM 101C casette:-----don't climb up the mast, and if you see a sailing ship, it might be your last" etc. I have an extensive library of shanties, chantys, and pirate lore with some empirical sources (books and documents) dating back almost 2 centuries. I welcome honest e-mail concerned with maritime music, terminology and foklore and will make every effort to respond to "hits" from those involved in performing and anotating this art.
