Steve Gardham	The Advent and Development of Chanties (916* d)	RE: The Advent and Development of Chanties	31 May 18
Captain Norman Yates I recorded in 1970. This is on C1009/6 tracks 5 - 23. Includes Sailor's Alphabet Rio Grande A-Roving Blow the Man Down Whiskey Johnny Drunken Sailor No more pulling on the lee-fore brace Spanish Ladies Rolling Home Sacramento (Blackball Line) Roll the Cotton Down Blow, Boys, Blow than some repeats All accompanied on banjo. I suspect these are more likely to be derivative. I also have a tape somewhere I have had since the 60s which was passed on to me of a group of seamen singing chanties. I don't remember who gave me it or know who is singing on it. It didn't make it onto the BL online collection because it wasn't something I had recorded myself. It does sound like real seamen singing rather than folksingers. I'll try to find it and at least transcribe what they were singing.
