GUEST,Phil d'Conch	The origin of Sea Chanteys (129* d)	RE: The origin of Sea Chanteys	25 Mar 20
Gibb: The proto-chanty, as in Hugill's foreword or the second half of the wiki intro, is multi-lingual; multi-task and pre-historic. If English lyrics are a chanty requirement, nothing else matters if: English=no. The more mandatory requirements, the tighter the niche. English, 19th century, merchant marine are the biggies. Consensus rolls off pretty quick after that. Fiddles, fifes, rowing, stevedoring &c in or out? Depends. Hard to come by as an industry 'standard' halyard.
