Subject: RE: The Advent and Development of Chanties
The Musical Magazine-Musical Courier (Evanston, Ill.) (Apr. 6, 1916), p. 64:

"Dr. Kinkeldey gave a talk with illustrations, on the subject, 'Why Folk Music?' This was a most interesting and well expressed talk. He spoke of the English folk song and sang the humorous song, 'Brisk Young Bachelor.' The sailors' songs, 'Chanteys,' with their rhythmical mood, were illustrated by 'Haul Away, Joe' and 'Johnnie Bowker,' stupid songs, both of them."
