Last year on Valentine's Day, I made a youtube movie for "Before the Mast" using Ronnie Ronalde's "If I were a sailor", because it was, at the same time, a sea shanty appropriate for the time and a love song. Any suggestions for this year? Please, I need a few suggestions, because I can't guarranttee, if they are only 2-3, that I'll find any of those songs. Among several, it is easier to choose... My only idea is "Voici la St. Jean" by Malicorne, because it has been featured a few times in the most active thread we had last year. But if I find something in English, sea-related and love-related at the same time... the better!

I recently downloaded Skip Henderson's song "Billy Bones" from iTunes and I'm trying to find the lyrics. I've done searches on google and so forth and turned up nothing. Skip's myspace page has no lyrics and his personal homepage appears to be down. Spiral Six had tribute page with the lyrics but it mysteriously vanished before I could copy them down. so... does anyone have the lyrics to Billy Bones?

The first song I heard of the Poxy Boggards seemed really random, but it was listening to them that got me into sea shanties and tavern songs. Most of what I hear from them is tavern songs, but they have a few sea shanties too. Here are a few links to some of their songs. These particular links will take you to someone who drew his own art for the videos posted. Holy Ground And, the first song I heard, .My late night pre-bed routine has become very relaxing. I sit at the computer listening either to the Boggards or to the Irish Rovers, smoke my pipe, and enjoy a good drink.

Ahoy there mates!! Yet another preview of Henry Martin: Around the Bay! This time it's one of my first favorite "pirate" tunes... New York Girls. We opted for the less popular version, detailing the robbery of a sailor when he goes to bed with a "New York Girl" and features the chorus: "All you New York Girls, you love us for our money!" The CD is available now at: www.piratesinc.com ! Cheers, mates! Chris Henry Martin

Hi, For a writing project I'm working on (same one I was asking about the ships for), I'm trying to figure out what sea shanties would've been around by 1721. As far as I can tell, "All For Me Grog" and "Health To The Company" were written after 1721, and I'm wondering if there are any others out there I could use. Thanks!

For the renfest and any other thing the Jade Dragon crew does, we stick to songs we know are not copyrighted or are listed as free domain and/or traditional. Sometimes we are inspired by versions from our favourite other performers but we are not doing their songs but more motivated and formed on their variation of a song. I've had a number of people come up to me with a list of songs they want to perform at BCRF. I remind them that their signed agreement/contract with us states that they are responsible for any copyrights or the like. We don't design their sets so we can't really control their performance in this way. I always tell them that the songs we (cast at …

I've been trying to research what a common simple woodwind instrument would have been from 1690 to 1720 that a sailor may have carried with him aboard ship. I think this period of time is considered part of the Baroque Period. I keep leaning toward the Flageolet [whistle flute], but I need input from those who are more knowledgable about musical instruments during this period of time. I have virtually no knowledge of music and instruments, because I have never been very musically inclined. But I wouldn't mind trying my hand at learning to play a small Flageolet-type instrument or fife, so that I could play some simple period songs at living history events some day while …
