I thought some people would be interested to know that I have reached the end of the ABRIDGED edition of Hugill's text, having learned and recorded all the examples (*according to my personal methodology, that is).

The chantey recordings appear in two playlists:
PART 1

PART 2

Thanks to the friends who have helped me record these along the way, and to those who have graciously offered comments.

Now, all but one of the chanteys is done. And I am inviting *anyone* to contribute. Please see here.

I've already received 2 submissions (one included a group of ~10 people) and pledges from several more in various countries. This is all truly amateur ("folk," if you like) performance, so if that is your inclination, welcome!
