Hi Tom, cant say I have

O K I really only listened to the three I mentioned earlier

Because I dont play these CDs as 'background' music as a rule.

You would surely be doing yourself a disservice to put'em all on one

I record for posterity! for the family, for my kids for when I'm gone, I want to haunt em, like I do to some folk already! etc

If you put it 'all down' at once then its a hell of a gap to the next one and the idea is to generate repeat orders is it not, like repeat gigs, so far over a 20 year period, I've put down nearly 22 volumes, consisting of 250 songs , it saves on paper too. it reflects the direction I've travelled.

They are not for sale,I do not plug 'my' Cds at gigs, though it infuriates me when somebody else does and I'm the main attraction, - cheek, sod off, get yer own gig, show respek, - I like to give the audience a break but the practice of planning ,recording etc has been similar I'm sure. My last one contains 11 songs. I hope they would pass the T Bliss standard of 'contrast' as he has made a valid point.
listening to 20 shanties is for the 'Die hards', and Ive got those cds in my collection, deep down underneath the pile at the bottom of the drawer/locker

We won the rugby, me 12 year old scored, beat Watford Grammar 24pts - O

Its the old adage
'Leave em wanting more'
