Thread Name: sea shanties
Subject: RE: sea shanties
Hello Fine Folks,
I am a student, working on a proposal for a year-long grant to study outside the US. My project is the music and lore of sailing,both in European tradition and in the indigenous traditional song and story related to working with the sea in French Polynesia and Micronesia, perhaps New Zealand....
I'm pressed for time, but I'm so committed to making this proposal work somehow! Does anyone have ideas or contacts, or would be willing to talk in person with me about this? Dan McKinnon in halifax gave me the link to this site.
Thanks much!!!!
Ashlynn
