Gibb-

Thanks for finding a link that works. Now, at least, folks who are interested can buy the CD.

There are many intriguing tracks on this CD. For example, #10, The Bully Boat (Ranzo Ray) led by Tom Brown, seems an early version of what most of us know as "The Wild Goose Shanty" but the initial verses were dropped while more plot was developed between the sailor and the lady. And instead of a steady rhythm as in The Bully Boat, Wild Goose is a halyard shanty with distinct pulls. But the two songs are obviously related, and may be enjoyed as distinct renditions. One wonders where the "wild goose" came from, other than from some Irish shantyman

Cheerily,
