Owen Woodson Folklore: The Auctioneer's Chant (5) RE: Folklore: The Auctioneer's Chant 01 Oct 12


Auctioneer's chants are highly unlikely to have originated at slave auctions, since they are known to exist in Britain.

The radio ballad, Singing The Fishing, makes superb use of one during the storm sequence.
