Go on out to the Smithsonian / Folkways web site. You'll find
plenty. The Sam Larner recordings are priceless. At ten bucks
a CD that stuff can't be beat. The San Francisco Sea Music
Festival stuff is great. And the X-Seaman's Institute music
(I'm not neutral here---- I've been in a band with a member
of the X-, Frank Woerner, and the late Bernie Klay was a friend
and mentor).

Tom Sullivan's "Salt Atlantic Chanteys" recorded on an Atlantic
crossing on the Brig Unicorn. The real stuff.

Go to the Mystic Seaport web site and order any of the Festival
recordings.

Or any of the "Forebitter" music.

Look for recordings by "The Morgans" or by Don Sineti. Stan said
Don was the closest to a "real" chanteyman he'd ever heard.
