Thank you for chiming in, Roger. May I ask: Did you ever end up archiving the recordings from that fieldwork in a public fashion somewhere?

I study chanties, and in the course of it - a sort of learning exercise - I have at one time learned and recorded myself singing all of the examples in "Deep the Water." It would have been easier if I'd heard recordings! :-)

I also wonder if all the transcriptions in the book are from your own recordings or if a few are from ones made by Alan Lomax in '62? Thanks.
