Subject: RE: From SF to Sydney - 1853 Shanties Sung?
Most (not all) of Robinson's shanties are covered in other pre-Colcord collections. Colcord seems to have taken less than half a dozen rarities from him: Derby Ram, Bangidero, Slav Ho!, John Cherokee, maybe one more. I haven't checked, though. Of these, only "John Cherokee" has often been "revived," mostly in Hugill's version.
