Subject: RE: Welcome to my Sea Chanteys/Shanties page
Well, having finished the Shanties from the Seven Seas chanties, I am continuing to learn and record songs.

Occasionally I am adding more current interpretations of the ones I'd done previously, and then just adding them to the playlists as "supplements."

But the more interesting thing I'm doing is beginning to record and compile chanties that were not included in Hugill's volume. The goal, I suppose, is to cover all the known chanties.

So, I've started a new playlist:

Other Chanties and Sailor Songs

I'm also just using the playlist as a place for non-chanty sailor songs that I occasionally might do.

Here's a list of what's there so far.

Rosabella (Caribbean version)
We're All Surrounded (cotton-screwing chanty)
Sun Down Below (chanty)
John John Crow
Lindy Lowe
Slapandergosheka
Shiny O
Stand to Your Ground (from Whall)
Christopher Columbo
Dom Pedro
The Leaving of Liverpool (ugh, hate this one!)
Chicken on a Raft (a funky experiment)
Paddy Works on the Railway (fiddle-me version)
Old Maui (just something I'd sung chorus on a while back)
Talcahuano Gals
Boston
Grog Time o' Day (Caribbean rowing song, early 19th century)
