Stamp and go on braces? Really? You've seen that done?

There is in fact a solo part to Drunken Sailor and it is the
first line of each verse, which the shanteyman gives to the
crew and they then give back to him twice earlie in the
morning. That's the magic. As shanteyman you now have three
quarters of a verse to think up the next one. It doesn't
even have to rhyme as there is only one line which rhymes
with itself. Which is why it's so easy to be topical. I
believe the very weekend of the Exxon Valdez about 100
of us were simultaneously coining the line 'Put him in
charge of an Exxon tanker' which we all believe to be
very clever on hour parts to this day.

About every year rumors of the 'secret Hugill collection'
swirl round and are again put to rest.

I have no doubt that there are personal documents in the
posession of Bron and Phillip and Martin which will some
day come to light in a time and manner of their own choosing.
