Lighter	The Advent and Development of Chanties (916* d)	RE: The Advent and Development of Chanties	29 Jun 22
Concerning Stan Hugill's vocal "hitches"... Los Angeles Herald (June 26, 1906), reprinted from The London Express: "To hear a chantey in its full effectiveness, you must needs be sufficiently distant not to catch the jarring falsetto into which mercantile jack inevitably breaks, nor to hear his impromptu anathemas upon the skipper and the mates." The chanteys mentioned are all familiar, but I haven't noted these words elsewhere: "'Good-by, fare ye well' ... a sailor chant of farewell to 'a fair little maiden,' who is told 'the does blow, and the ship must go.'" And in "Homeward Bound" we "come to the West Indee docks." These are about the only lyrics given in the article.
