"Shantyfreak" should be identified as Jim Saville who began the Cicely Fox Smith anthology on the Oldpoetry website, where there we have now posted more than 600 of this poet's poems. It's rumoured that Jim also sings with the Shellbacks.

Cheerily,

You got me Charley. I'm still a novice here and forgot to log in correctly ! !
Rumoured to sing is quite right I make a noise in the back row and occasionally get up front and give renditions, usually CFS.
Hope Mystic is Magic Charley. One of these years. . .

Thanks, Peter. We try to please.

We should do another one of these for something that is out of print and relatively expensive to purchase as a used book. Any suggestions?

The Sea Songs of Cicely Fox Smith songbook may also be purchased from Camsco Music: click here for website

I've also shipped a load to Sydney, Australia, where they may be purchased from Margaret Walters of The Roaring Forties.

Songbooks are also available in the UK from Jim Saville (Shantyfreak) for £15 each.

Here's a major update for those interested in this incredible British poet. Late this May The Complete Poetry of Cicely Fox Smith will finally be published, almost 640 poems, by Little Red Tree Publishing in Mystic, Connecticut.

This has been a major international project. Grateful thanks are due to my co-editor Jim Saville (UK), Barrie Mathers (UK), Jake Wade (UK), Chris Roche (UK), Danny & Joyce McLeod (UK), Ian Dye (UK), Margaret Walters, (Australia), Bill Huot and Aziza Cooper (Victoria, BC), Bob Zentz, Mike Kennedy, Margaret McCandless here in the States, and a host of others. Special thanks to Joanie Dimartino who directed me to our intrepid publisher Michael Linnard.

This anthology will run more than a thousand pages, is fully referenced, and profusely illustrated with vintage images. It will be available for download on-line as well as hard copy.

The number of poems that I now know of that have been set to music (some not yet recorded) exceeds 100.

More specific information about ordering this book will be posted to this thread.

Back to final proofing.

Cheerily,
Charley Noble

Any chance to see or hear the tune of "Lowlands Away"? Many other MIDIs are here but not that one. CFS's collection is a bit hard to get a hold of! Thanks.

Gibb-

I'll send you a JPGs of the relevant two pages via e-mail, assuming you still have the same (gmail) e-mail.

Hi Charley,

Thanks for the scans!!

You might want to check on your Facebook gallery of pics. I'm not seeing anything; it might not be set to "public" view.

Gibb-

Actually, I'll have to set up the above link as a separate album rather than as my "Facebook Thoughts for the Day." I have more control of the privacy features that way. The CFS should be public but my usual "Thoughts" should only go to my 500 or so "close friends and relations."

And it probably would be better to launch a new thread about the publication of the book here.

I'll do appropriate editing as soon as I can figure out how best to do this.

Would someone who is not one of my Facebook friends or relatives please confirm whether this link works?
