GUEST,Bob Walser Learning Shanties (33) RE: Learning Shanties 26 Mar 07


Hello all, sorry to vanish on you. I was called for Jury Duty (guilty, as it turned out).

Anyway, many thanks. Indeed as Charley Noble guessed I am looking for documentation rather than imagination. Tom's tasty bit was just the sort of thing! I have most of the usual shanty books so the references to Bone and Shay saved me some time, but some of you lot have read lots of narratives of going to sea (like Round Cape Horn on the Bark Amy Turner) and it was those kinds of works I wonder about...

Thanks to all and yes, I will be at Mystic this year. See you there.

Bob Walser
