Guest?-
Not a bad suggestion for "Limehouse Reach." Although I'm not sure what you do when you get to the grand chorus.
"Windlass Chantey" also elicited this comment from Gordon Bok which I proudly reprint: I like what you did with Colcord's "Windlass Chantey." Ordinarily I'd be loath to add to some boney-fide square-rigger shellback's work, but I thought your additions were right in line and of the same feeling and genre as his -(more literary and poetic than those that might have festered in the focsle, but just as tight and energetic.) I think he'd have bought you a beer for those verses, did he drink...
Cheerily,
Charley Noble
