Subject: RE: Hugill/Dana's missing shanties
What joy! A search for missing sea shanties! Where's my time machine?

"Hello, Mr. Brown, do you know any sea shanties?"

"Sure, me boy. Why don't you walk with me over to Billy & Harry's Saloon over on Davis Street and I'll sing you a few. Now, let me buy you a drink."

"Why thanks, Mr. Brown. This tastes mighty sweet for whiskeyyyyyy......"

TIME PASSES SLOWLY AS THE WHITEHALL BOAT ROWS OUT INTO THE HARBOR TOWARD THE "BENJAMIN F. PACKER" AND AS THE BOATMEN DRAW CLOSER YOU WOULD HEAR AN UNCOLLECTED CAPSTAN SHANTY IF YOU WERE ONLY CONSCIOUS...

Cheerily,
Charley Noble
