So difficult to keep these shanty groups sorted out. Anyone designed a chart? ;-)

Actually, I'm only too aware of how difficult it can be to keep a group together in the lucrative business of shanty singing. I'm just happy that good folks are reworking C. Fox Smith's poems for singing, and I'd like to think she'd be pleased to hear what we're coming up with.

Yes, I too managed to secure one of her books Full Sail: More Sea Songs & Ballads from the internet booksellers, a dangerous site to browse.
