GaryD Help: History: Sea Shanteys, Sea Songs (17) History: Sea Shanteys, Sea Songs 19 Apr 00


I just recently got some recordings from our friends at Folk Legacy of a group called "Boarding Party".. They are simply fantastic.. they sing Seafaring Songs & Shanteys.. I got to wondering about the history of such songs and musics.. thought it would be great to see how much information I can get regarding the origins, styles, purposes, and anectdotes of this great music form.. How about it...any Takers?... Gary

I'm also going to post a separate thread about the group I mentioned.. would like to know more about them..
