GUEST,greg stephens Hugill/Dana's missing shanties (99* d) RE: Hugill/Dana's missing shanties 12 Jul 02


Know what you mean about them song books.I was vaguely running(in a non-prescriptive way) a bit of an informal pissed up session in the peel sailing Club(Isle of Man) at the boatfest last w/end, and there were a group of people with a big folder of song words at the table.And they were leafing through their bloody book when anyone kicked in with a song, and joining in with the words off the song-sheets. Completely oblivious to the fact that the singer who had started the song was singing something completely different. I'm not convinced that this new-fangled policy of teaching everyone to read at school is a good idea.
