GUEST,Roll&Go-C | ALERT! All Armchair Sailors (82* d) | RE: ALERT! All Armchair Sailors | 10 Apr 01 |
Steve, you're right that "Strike the bell, Watchman" was a "pre-curser" to the sailor pumping shanty "Strike the Bell", at least according to Stan Hugill; I will note that Hugill refers to the precursor as "Ring the Bell, Watchman" a Scottish song, and also refers to a Welsh song "Twll Bach y Clo." So stuff that...;-) |
