Congratulations, PoppaGator! It's some of the most fun and satisfying music to sing, no? I wish for you a grand time in your newfound musical path. As you delve ever more deeply into these traditions, I think you'll find sea music a fascinating cultural porthole into our past. My only advice is to not worry about dressing the part; it's not important to the music or to the public presentation of it, in my opinion (and I stress "in my opinion").

Feel ftree to PM me anytime if you'd like to bat ideas back and forth on sea music and how you're doing with it.

All the best,

Chanteyranger
