I know. when I was still in high school, I saved all sorts of shanties and videos on my dad's computer in a folder of internet favorites. Too bad it doesn't work like it does on Facebook, with Youtube.

Unfortunately, my first (and still one of my favorite) shanty albums was produced in cassette tape only. Unfortunately, my copy has gone missing (either packed in long term storage or purged at one point due to lack of a tape player). Now, I have a friend that would be able to transfer it to a CD or digital format (for personal use and hopefully some posterity). It's hard or impossible to find the tape anymore by the Saint Elmo's Choir, but if anyone knows where I could obtain a copy, I'd be very interested (hey, almost a sentence where I didn't use parenthesis).

Don't know how accurate it is, but there's a few references that surface over the Internet stating that today, May 17 (1682) is Roberts birthday.
