19 Dec 07 - 06:16 PM (#2219272) Subject: RE: Sea songs From: Nerd My guess is, in the many WPA collections of interviews, there is material from sailors who wound up in America. Those would naturally talk about life aboard ship. I know there are some interviews of a retired whaling captain, for example...so those are also non-song sources. |

I think the OP's question may have been rhetorical, and intended to elicit sillier reposnses than either of yours. Topical tom's was probably closer to the mark. But I can't thnk of anything partcularly clever or witty, either, so here I am contributing to the growing pedantry of this discussion. Sorry! |
