Hooraw for the sketch! And thanks for the info, Charley.

I'm still not satisfied with the amount of context of a Swede "playing" shanties (grumble, grumble)... What is he playing? A melodeon? A tuba? A diddly-wang? And where is he, and when, and why?

To my way of thinking, if there's no work and there's no functional chorus, then there's no shanty.

Bet you never though you'd hear so much bitching on this thread, eh? :)

But seriously, thanks for sharing your finding with us.
