Thanks, Abby. I have always been amazed at your knowledge of chanteys. Even sailed with you once aboard a gaff-rigged ketch once, back in about 1961 I think, but it wasn't a large enough boat to require chanteys to get the work done. Anyway. I knew nothing about Solid Fas' and it's a great chantey. I can even, for the first time, imagine it being sung in a fast 2/4 time as a capstan chantey. In fact, the title "Solid Fas'" suggests a line being made fast. (A Mainer might say "Wicked Fas'")
