Scroll up to the top for the revised version of John Kanaka: "I thought I heard the old man say Eyjafjallajökull blew today we'll fly tomorrow but not today Eyjafjallajökull blew today Both a lovely updating of an island chantey and a lesson in how to (sort of) pronounce Eyjafjallajökull. Also some other good suggestions for volcano chanteys in the discussion. Blessings, Barbara |
