Gibb - thanks for the re-definition - point taken. Perhaps the Hugill/Harding question should be a separate thread?

I was going to go through which of John Short's shanties were 'covered' by Stan as Harding/WestIndies - but it'll be a few weeks yet: will post when it's done. From the other direction, has anyone listed the 'Harding shanties' from Seven Seas? (or the 'picked up' for that matter).
