Thread Name: You and Your 'Folkbabies'
Subject: RE: You and Your 'Folkbabies'
As a mother of 3 folkbabies or shantybabies... My eldest at the age of 12 is too old for the junior shanty group that his baby sister now sings with(aged 10). He prefers to sing with the adults of course. my 2 year old who never uttered an recognizable word until 6 months ago now wanders our home alternating between singing, "When the boat comes in", "Donkey riding" and "Walk around honey Walkaround". His latest addition to his repertoire which had us in hysterics was "Sam's gone away on a ship!" Well he's got the gyst of it...
