Chanteyranger
forgot to mention that Stan Hugill & I did a chantey record for
HMV (that gives my age away?)
I think we each "took the lead" on diverse tracks
For the chorus Stan dragged in the usual suspects
The LP was named after his book Shanties of the 7 seas"
I'll do a google when I have the time
Wonder if HMV's successors (EMI??) kept the master tapes?
BTW Like Bert Lloyd, Stan H had an eye for female pulchritude
Last time we met he had quite a young Canadian lass IN TOW!
which stopped him "chasing" my then wife, Peggy!

ALSO: I recorded Stan for my ECHOES of MERSEYSIDE LP (a special project commissiomed by the L'pool Echo -- Nat Joseph's Transatlantic
Records did the editing/production from months of my roaming with a
Nagra)-- Stan speaks of the L'pool seaman's swagger & I merge in
a snatch of STORMALONG

Where are you residing? Way back I took part in several
chantey sessions here in San Francisco -- on board the
Beuceleth (spelling?) which is still a tourist attraction
in SF harboour
