Thread Name: The Advent and Development of Chanties
Subject: RE: The Advent and Development of Chanties
Here are the online references for some of the chanties I recorded from old capehorners in the 60s. At the British Library Sound Archive if you search my name it will bring up my collection C1009. 2 chanty singers are at C1009/2.
Jack Smith was an east coast bargeman out of Hull, tracks 6 to 20. Includes Bold Princess Royal Rolling Home Blow the Man Down A Roving Dogger Bank Ten Thousand Miles Away Wild Rover Kitty Wells Tom Bowling
Ted Calcott was a Londoner and old Cape-Horner before the mast , tracks 21-29 include Ratcliffe Highway (Blow the Man Down) Rolling Home Whiskey Johnny Rio Grande Sacramento Ratcliffe Highway again and talk of Shenandoah Then some Cockney popular songs from the 1890s
