Mingulay Boat Song
June 2, 2021 10:38 AM
Trad. sea song, composed in the 1930s by Scots composer Hugh Roberton. I learnt it from a pirate band who used to play at the Maryland Renaissance Fair.
Trying to get to like my voice again, and keep my ear in for harmony.
The recording isn't perfect. Piano bench can be heard creaking. (Think of it as a ship's timbers?)
The pirate band I heard this from were the Pyrates Royale, who disbanded in 2016 after 26 years.

This is great. The exhortations for putting your "whole voice" ring true here!
