Lighter	Folk song collecting. Good or bad? (113* d)	RE: Folk song collecting. Good or bad?	17 Sep 24
And probably a song modifier. Can anyone doubt that as a creative working chanteyman, Hugill himself devised some of the lines in his books? At work, one hopes. Bear in mind too his revealing comment that "The bulk of the shanties in this book I carried around for years, safely stowed away in the saltwater recesses of my figurehead." That means his head. He wrote them from thirty- or forty-year-old memory.
