GUEST,Phil d'Conch	I give up. What's a HOGEYE? (197* d)	RE: I give up. What's a HOGEYE?	20 May 25
Welllll… to say I use a different metric and glossary for the subject would be a teensy understatement… Taking Whall's maths and shanty calendar at face value, Stan Hugill was born too late for the genre & job title. I don't disagree. Whall is, hands down, the one and only and most authoritative source for San Franciscan hog-eye barge and has been that for over a century. Nobody or bot can match him… yet. But... have readers and audiences been getting their U.S. History lessons from a book of shanties for working shantymen or forebitters for landsmen? Fiction or non...???
