Subject: RE: Book of Sea Chanties
Alricht, here's a query whae's been plaguin' me for years, an' I'm tae embarrassed tae ask ony local folkies tae their face. Where does the name "sea chanty/shanty" come frae? Why dae I find it spelled twa different ways, an' what's th' richt pronouncin' o' it? Och, blastit, this ane allus makes me feel like an' eejit! Put me oot o' my misery, will ye?

Muckle thanks,
