robinia | Help: Sea-faring songs go Oilfield?? (26) | RE: Help: Sea-faring songs go Oilfield?? | 28 Apr 02 |
Hey, a big difference between sea chanties and "oil songs" is that the chanty accompanied real physical work (and the work came first; in fact leading a working chanty can be surprisingly difficult ...). Of course, there're lots of seafaring songs that aren't "chanties"; the sea does seem to inspire strong (ambivalent) feelings (my favorite is the Arcadian "Allons la mer est belle")... |
