Thread Name: 'New' Sea Songs & Shanties & Nautical Songs
Subject: 'New' Sea Songs & Shanties
It occurs to me that alongside the various historical collections of Sea Songs and Shanties, that now is the time to put together a compendium of the "new" shanties composed as entertainment, as opposed to "work" and self-entertainment; the new tunes, which are ballads to a lost time.
Here is a start.
Cheers
