NOT NEARLY LONG ENOUGH

In one of the most blatant pieces of malevolent corporate greed I've seen, I'm greeted by headlines today that around 2500 seafarers are still stranded in the Persian Gulf, simply because the shipping companies they work for don't want to spend any extra to fly them back to their homes.

Row well ye mariners.
An anonymous #dance and #ballad tune, popular in the 16th and 17th centuries.
From The Country Dancing Master, John #Playford, 1651.

Eleanor Cramer: bass viol
Robin Jeffrey: #cittern
Alison Kinder: recorder
