Subject: RE: Sing-outs (semi-chanteys)
Hi!
A couple more sing-outs...
I'd still be interested to hear about any others that people have sung. Book references are very welcome, but I'd also be curious to hear versions of these that people have actually performed, in whatever context.
Here's two sample attempts:
1. St. Helena Soldier
2. Royal Artillery Man
and here's the Hindi and Samoan (supposedly?) ones, from Whall's text and reproduced in Hugill's:
Hindustani and Samoan sing outs
Enjoy! Add more!
