tmce@gulfsurf.infi.net sea chanties (6) sea chanties 07 May 98


I have a collection of sea chanties on a homemade tape that I'd love to find on CD. The problem is a) I don't know the name (if any) of the original tape; b) I don't remember if the songs came from a single tape or whether I collected them at random off the radio and c) I don't have exact titles for the individual selections.

I'm hoping that perhaps someone will recognize the following and tell me if/where/how they're available as a collection. The songs include:

Rolling Down To Old Maui Get Up Jack John, Sit Down Bound For The Rio Grande Shallow Brown Blow The Man Down (bawdy) Strike The Bell Go To Sea No More Fiddler's Green Don't You Remember Cape Ann etc.

If first lines would help, I can supply those. I'd appreciate any help you can give me. Thanks!
