Hello Mudcat, I thought I would clarify the information on the song Go to Sea No More. I wrote the tune way back in 1983 when I was in a band called Kincora with Jim Douglas. Shortly after the band broke up I moved to England. When I retuned 5 years later I found that Dave Peloquin & Compass Rose had been doing it for all those years and it is now on their latest C.D. It has also been recorded by Mystic's Forebitter and by Geoff Kaufman on his new solo C.D. and I believe that Cliff Haslam is doing it as well. I am in a group called Shipping News and it's on our CD "Wives Tales" and songs of the sea. We are on the bill at Mystic Sea Music Festival coming up in a few weeks. If anyone else out there is doing the song , I would to love to hear of it. Fair winds
