I saw Stan Hugill sing only once (several times on one wonderful weekend actually), when he was 86 I believe. Genuine old salt, actually chanteyed on the original Cutty Sark in the old days. Geez, he tended to ramble a bit and may have forgotten a line or two here or there, and god knows his voice wasn't a thing of beauty.

Less than a year later he died.

Was it worth my while to see him perform? Are you kidding me?
