The selections include four Cicely Fox Smith poems set to music:

Outward Bound
So Long (All Coiled Down)
Mariquita
Port o' Dreams

Traditional sea shanties:

Paddy Lay Back
Running Down to Cuba
Whiskey-O, Johnny-O
Serafina
South Australia
Leave Her Johnny

Drinking Songs:

Fathom The Bowl
Gosport Nancy
Mariner's Compass Is Grog
All For Me Grog

And other fine songs:

Paddy West
Mollymauk
West Indies Blues
Outside Track

About half of these songs should be familiar with sea music lovers. The other half are more obscure, and some have been only recently composed or adapted from poems for singing. They all deserve more attention in the years to come.

Roll & Go as a group has been together since the early 1990's and is based in Maine. The current members include Eli Dale, Norris Dale, Dick Dufresne, Charlie Ipcar, and Jeff Logan.

Roll & Go is honored to have been invited to perform at the Mystic Sea Music Festival this year, June 8-11.

Cheerily,
Charley Noble
