autos, autos everywhere,
with batt'rys not alive
autos, auto everywhere
nor any fit to drive?

About, about, in reel and rout
The frost sprites danced all night;
The ice and snow, lay all around
Lay cold, so cold and white

Naemanson-

I do have this old poem by Hamish Maclaren (author of Sailor with Banjo) that I've been wondering what to do with. It features a man wandering around the world with a key around his neck looking for the proper door to fit it into. Maybe I'll post it.

Shh! If you bring it up we'll have to reveal the payments we're receiving.

I thought of calling you, Sinsull, but it wouldn't have done any good except to bring you out into the cold with me. And the additional key, while it is a great idea, only works if you HAVE an additional key.

I have one now!

Damn, Brett. I live 15 minutes from the airport. we have to plan better next time if only that you leave me a set of keys to start your car and keep the battery alive.

You know it just hit me - we have had three shanty sings at the Press Room and not one performance of Shenandoah or any permutations thereof. Is someone collecting on that PBS joke about getting paid not to sing it?

Well, it sounds like it was quite a session. I wish I'd been there. I REALLY wish I'd been there.

I will write up my California adventure for my thread on going to Los Angeles. I have friends who want me to do that so they can share it with friends of theirs. They share stories like this so they can feel relief at only having to put up with their own troubles. (There, but for the grace of God, go I...)

Saturday I spent cooped up in a plane and then standing in a cold parking garage waiting for AAA. 'Nuff said.

Sorry to have missed the ship AGAIN, Mates.

Having inquired as to my "agenda" for the Weekend Friday Evening, Management gave my several options due consideration, after which it was announced that we would be going to visit our recently engaged Daughter in Winthrop Saturday.

Which, of course, is exactly what we did.

I had even been playing Roll & Go's CD to bellow along with as practice while in the galley cooking supper the preceeding couple of Afternoons. But alas, Cookie must go where the Captain bids, of course - and we did have a good visit with "the Wylde One" after all.

Management also advises that with a Wedding in the works and a lakeside wood-lot we purchaced in Winthrop as a Family Camp-ground last year, that planning on much of anything (like Reenacting) outside of those concerns this Spring and Summer will likely be a study in futility.

Hopefully, I'll manage to get down to at least one of these despite the mileage involved. The good times, company, and music are indeed missed!

Barry-

I had read the notes and lyrics to "Captain Roger's Cruelty" but had never heard anyone intrepid enough to sing this long grim ballad. Good job! And I'm sure that Andrew Rose's ghost appreciated your work.

Looks like I'm gonna miss the next Press Room shanty swap. I'm planning to roll down to NYC for the South Street Sea Port shanty swap, stay with my brother's family in Brooklyn; there are rumors that a couple of Mudcatters may be traveling with me. Maybe we could swap verses back and forth by cellular phone!!!

It was a great sing, seems to be the way it's headed. Well attended & well sung. Already looking forward to the next one.


Hey Jeri, I thought you & Sinsull did quite a good job (especially since that it was our 1st go at it) taking & leading the high refrain. Thanks


Wouldn't mind hearing some more stories from Captain Bunker. I'm amazed at his knowledge of events pertaining to the sea & the ships, the sailors & the waterfronts. There's more that a song or 2 there, more like a book.


Hi Charley, the "Come Down You Roses" I got from the Boarding Party. It was picked up in 1935 by Lomax in Nassau, Bahamas. It was sung there in 2 parts, a high lead & the Basser would come from underneath.


Hi SINSULL, I left out the 2nd verse (it's been many yrs since I sang this) it's as follows.

The song is also known as Captain Roger's Cruelty.


"Twas on the quarterdeck they laid him

Gagged him with an iron bar

Wasn't that most cruel usage

To put apron a British tar".

The Martha & Jane, a barque, homeward bound put into Barbados for repairs in 1856. Captain Henry Rogers came onboard to assume command as did Andrew Rose. While still in harbor 2nd mate Charles Seymore found fault with able seaman Rose & beat him. Rose jumped ship but was returned by the police. Once out to sea Rose was beaten again by Seymore along with the captain & 1st mate William Miles. This kind of abuse became almost daily. For singing a hymn he was gagged by an iron bolt for 1 1/2 hrs. The captain taught his dog to bite him tearing out pieces of his flesh. The first mate was the one sending him aloft while whipping him up & down the rigging. Also he was put in a water cask, the top put on leaving only the bunghole as source of air then the cask was rolled round the deck then lashed to the bulwarks for 12 hrs. Finally, Rose was suspended from the mainmast by a rope round his neck until near suffocation. 2 or 3 days later Rose lost his reasoning & died. His body was dragged to the ship's side at the end of a rope & thrown overboard without ceremony. The ship arrived at Liverpool on June 9, 1857. Rose's shipmates went to the police the captain & both mates were arrested & stood trial. The log showed that Rose died due to his "going rotten inside". With evidence from the seaman the 3 were found guilty & sentenced to death. The mate's sentences were commuted to imprisonment but not Rogers. On Sept 12 a crowd of 20-30 thousand gathed for the execution outside of Kirkdale (now Walton) Gaol, included many sailors one cheering "luff, luff & weather hell" while another saying "My word he'll a different man on THAT quarterdeck than he was on the Martha & Jane". From the 'Oxford book of Sea Songs'.

Colcord mentions that British sailors would taunt Yanks with "Blow, Boys, Blow" & that Yanks would counter with "Andrew Rose".


Really good to see/hear you Tinker. Knowing how far away you are, at 1st I could swear it just couldn't have been you. Sometimes it's nice to be wrong.


Hi Night Owl, nice to see you in this thread, it's been long time since hearing from you last. Hope you'll find an excuse to make one of these sessions. It'd be good to see you again. I'm working hard on that excuse.

Good night all, Barry

My other half actually seems quite interested in going down. It's hard to think ahead of having my face rearranged. Of course as far as the teasing I get it coming and going. I had to explain to my wife that the reason I was running out the door was so no one would have to try to come up that front walk which is glare ice right now, not because I was getting into the car with 2 strange women. Of course she's alreadt met Sinsull at the Press Room.

Linn-

"Fresh-Water Whaling" and "Farewell, Superior Sperm" are pretty much the same thing, although I added a chorus and a few lines which shifted the whaling grounds from some mytical lake in Minnesota to the great Green Bay. The song had haunted me for years after hearing it first sung by Si Kahn at the Wheatland Festival in Michigan in the late 1970's; that image of setting out the whale decoys in the misty morn.

I've refreshed the thread which has much of this discussion, as a thread drift from "Fishfingers."

Yep - Micca got it. Linda sent me two songs. I loved 'em both and learned 'em both. I believe you heard "Luckiest Sailor" at the Feb nautical song sing. Micca, I don't remember hearing (emphasis on 'remember') that Linda heard the '01 Getaway recording. I'm glad she did, and I'm glad I'm not in trouble!

I believe it's "Tossi Aaron," not "Aaron Tossi." Thanks for starting the other thread, kat, since Tossi's not a member and therefore can't PM Tom. Besides, I and others would enjoy the subject.

Nightie, "Drifting Away With the Thread" might be good. I'm working on "The Final Troll" at the moment.

Is "Fresh Water Whaling" the same as "Farewell, Superior Sperm"?

"Now the first ship that I sailed on was called The Great Saint Paul.
Its oak sawed sides were sturdy; its cornstalk masts were tall.
The captain was an older man though well preserved with rum.
He'd only started drinking when a perch bit off his thumb.
Chorus"

Sinsull, I suspect that Jeri's song (it ends "I know I'll live and die a Fisherman") was " Sparehand" by Linda Kelly ( a Mudcatter from Hull!!), and Jeri does it SO well!!! even Linda said so when she heard the recording of Jeri from the Getaway 2 years ago!!

My only complaint is that "Mollymauk" was TOO short; I could probably have listened to it all evening. It's amazing the effect some songs have.

Who was it singing that strange song of the galley slaves. "toward Calvary." It's not terribly relevant to his singing but he's a dead ringer for my older brother, maybe about ten years younger; could be they were separated at birth.

Brian also did some fine work on the tin whistle.

Barry's Come Down You Roses - there are 3 parts under the solo, and we barely got 2 of 'em. I will LEARN them for next time. Barry's part singing over the top was the best I've heard, bar none.

I LOVE singing Mollymauk with Barbara! Every now and then, we'd hit the harmony dead on at the end of a line and would hang onto it for perhaps a bit too long - you may have noticed. Sorry if that bugged anybody, but I sure enjoyed it!

"The Mariner's Compass" - YES! I definitely want to hear that one again.

Sorry I missed any of Bunker's stories or songs. I missed a lot even while I was there. I had a headache when I left for the session and thought it might go away, but it just kept getting worse. The fault of the weather, I believe.

Nice to see Tinker again!

Re: "Red Red Roses". Barry made a valiant effort to get his crew in order. Amazing how good I do my part when I have the Boarding Party to back me up then go tone deaf and rhythm impaired without them. Next time we will bring the cat o' nine tails and allow Barry to mangle and strangle the stragglers.

On the other hand, late in the evening Barry managed to silence the bar crowd with London Julie. Some even joined in.

Jeri had a full fledged screaming headache but still managed a few. Her rendition of "I Will Always Be A Fisherman" (Title?) also quieted the bar and turned heads. Some applause from the dinner crowd which I think she missed.

Brian sang a moving ballad about the woman left behind. His own translation, beautifully phrased and performed. But he then slipped back into songs he claimed were Gaelic - I am still not convinced. He will miss our next shanty sing - surgery. Maybe we can convince him to come and watch if he feels up to it.

Heard "Reuben James" for the first time in many years. Farewell To Liverpool from Tom ended the evening. So appropriate and pretty.

I am leaving out multiple people including Tinker who added a blues note to the event.
See you next month.

It wasn't even a dark and stormy late afternoon when we made our way up the rolling brick sidewalks of old Portsmouth to The Press Room, to assemble for the monthly Shanty Swap. And it was good to see familar faces and a few new ones in the welcoming circle.

I'm again impressed with Barbara's robust voice, and she also did a great job of backing up "Mollymauk" with Jeri. Linn did a fine job with "Race of Long Ago" without a "Bruce sheet" and another fine rendition of "Nine Times a Night." There seemed to be a loose set of songs where those listening were not sure whether we were singing about ships and their assorted parts, or about wenches; it's always about ships!

I esecially liked Barry's working up of "Come Down, You Roses." And I think we'll get more use out of "The Mariner's Compass", and it's a song with a message that should resonate with the master of an Exxon tanker as well as a crew of dissipated but aspiring shanty singers. I thought Nor did a fine job of leading Bok's "Jerico" which he normally doesn't lead in Roll & Go and sometimes that gets one in deep trouble.

It was good to see Sharon and Bunker of China Seas Marine Trading Company, although I wish they'd arrived earlier so we could have heard some more songs and stories from Bunker. Nor and I hung around afterwards with them for dinner and more stories, some about Bunker's encounters with Stan Hugill.

Thanks again, Tom, for setting this shanty swap up.

Cheerily,

Charley's song about the sailor's compass is grog was very nice. Nice job "channelling" that melody from 1808 I think it was. The new voices were great. It was great to hear Tinker.

Once again, thanks to all participants, we had another fine sea music session.
It was great to meet Tinker, who travelled all the way from New Jersey to add some really fine songs to the mix. She now holds the record for furthest travelling.

Another highlight was to hear two of our Friday regulars do some songs, especially so in that they are not regular singers. Ramona has been fiddling in the Friday night sessions for some years now, and tonight offered up some North Carolina sea related songs from the Warner collection. And Mark, who has been a regular listener, finally broke down and sang some songs, including one by Fred Gosbee, the name of which escapes me now.

But I'm tired and my leg hurts, so I'll leave it to others to flesh this out a bit more when they have a chance. Thanks to all -- Tom

Thanks, CN; Lord knows my navigation leaves much to be desired around Portland - Portsmouth would be a hopeless cause!

Every time I get off the beaten path through Portland I wonder if I'll ever be seen or heard from again. It took me about an hour to find Keith's Sewing Machine shop from Congress St. the other day to get some needles for my old treadle Singer.

There are several alternative options for Sat. PM, including a rally with, err.. "the other crowd I hang with" (this can be weird, but terribly interesting) in Brunswick and a New England Pot Roast supper in North Yarmouth...Plus we have yet to see "Gods and Generals" and this might be the last weekend it's around.
it's gonna be tough!

Is there a landline or cell number you could PM me in order to get directions should I elect to head South?

I have been a little distracted from the 'Cat lately on some other forums and issues - I sort of found myself rather spontaniously out between the ideological trenches of the two "crowds I hang with" being somewhat of a "peace activist" in order to keep some of them from hurting each other... how weird is that?!
