Bravo! I'd also like to thank you for fighting the good fight... There are too many songs dying because noone is handing them down. I'd like to suggest that you contact someone in San Francisco, as there is a truly wonderful Shanty sing that happens there monthly. Sadly, I am not in the area, but I hit it whenever I can. The songs range all historical eras and areas... I've heard everything from a 2000 year old Israeli sailing song through WWII Destroyer shantys.

Good luck! Keep us posted!
