David Kasanof Who writes "Fo'c'sle" for the Wooden Boat magazine decries the fact that Sea Chantys today are being sung by those with good singing voices.He thinks that it detracks from the authenticity of the song ,for in the old working days of sail ,these songs were sung by rum soaked ,hung over seamen.And as for females singing these songs ,how real can that be? These are his thought and are not a reflection of my own. I suppose that the ansuer is, to be a least haf boomed when singing sea chantys.
