Well, this is my third try for this post. Gibb, that truly is a great fine. I really like "Oh Stow Me Along, Stow Me". All of those songs had to come from somewhere. I don't think they could be a product of pure fiction. Especially since they show up later in the chanty tradition.

Charley, do you have a link for the Brady poem? I think I remember you mentioning him earlier. I'd like to see that. I find it fascinating that "Sally" has a literary tradition of her own!

And Gibb, I'm glad you were able to get some satisfaction on the "hoosier" issue.   I tried to track that one down and got completely swamped by those folks from Indiana. I still don't quite understand how they got to be "hoosiers". I know that it doesn't have anything to do with football! But then, "Roll Tide!" is not a sea chanty either. I hope you guys are having a fine Saturday night.
