22 Apr 98 - 03:06 PM (#26293) Subject: Jack the Sailor From: dan.meegan@crc.ca I am looking for any info on the origins and development of the song "Jack the Sailor", also known as "Jack Monroe", "Love of Polly and Jack Monroe", "Jack-A-Roe", "Jacky Frazier", etc. Is it based on a true story? Who has performed and recorded it through the years? |

It's not on CD but I suspect Sandy and Carine Paton still have many things on vinyl. I'm sure they could make a cassette for you too. Jean probably does the song too. Folk Legacy Box 1148 Sharon, CT 06069 860-364-5661 They do have a nice website but I can't recall it right now. Art Thieme |
