Parker Higgins: Generating an infinite sea shanty in the browser. “For a project I’m working on, I wanted to generate an endless looping soundtrack that felt like a sea shanty continuing indefinitely without a fixed melody. This proved to be a fun exercise for both musical and technical reasons, so I thought I’d write up some thoughts on how that came together.”

LOLOL! I just found out that our upcoming #IpswichLace demo at the #MarbleheadMA museum will have sea shanties too! I love sea shanties.
This Saturday, or Sunday if they have to move to the rain date.
The singers are called "Scurvy Fellows Indeed" and I can't stop laughing.

Liberated from a place where it was stifled from lack of exposure. I will attempt alt text, but I don't want to hear any 🐂💩 about my 💩 transcription, k? #ships #songs #history #nautical #seaShanties #obNauticalContent

I'm going to start naming my Elite Dangerous new ships like famous ships in sea shanties.
Of course the John B. will be my first.

@davidpwhelan Thanks for sharing that version of Christmas at Sea. It's a song that really hits me hard more and more as I too am far from home where my folks are growing old. Here is a version that I really like performed by @TheLongestJohns.

Last SpaceAce Sunday, we took a listen to the first album that SpaceAce submitted to this project. We had a sort of surrogate spotlight on the second one back in March, pointing to SpaceAce’s own post on that album,* so here we jump to the third.
In memory of our dearly missed friend, let’s raise a glass and take a listen to number 479 in The List. This one is a collection of traditional sea shanties, and one of the many collaborations between Ewan MacColl and A. L. Lloyd, both key in the British folk revival of the 1950s and 60s.
Thanks, friend.

- Note: CW for lyrics in the title track.**

*SpaceAce’s piece on Forest’s The Full Circle is on the Digital LoFi blog. While our surrogate spotlight simply links to his post, you may want to check it out – in a weird tech glitch/gift, though SpaceAce’s use of the autodelete setting on Mastodon means that his comment on the Mastodon side has long disappeared, it remains on the blog side, complete with his cartoon avatar and signature ALL CAPS joy.
**I questioned pointing this out, but I feel like SpaceAce would’ve said something about it. The title track has a racist word in a lyric describing an antislavery ship; the song appears to have originated during the slave trade. There’s a discussion of the song and its various versions including this one here. The same site has an ultra-detailed discussion of each song on Blow Boys Blow and of both Ewan MacColl’s and A. L. Lloyd’s entire discographies, if you’re interested.#1001OtherAlbums #1950s #ALLloyd #BertLloyd #BritishFolk #EwanMacColl #folk #folkMusic #seaShanties #SpaceAceSunday

@drevrpg For traditional #SeaShanties, some good ones are "Drop of Nelson's Blood", "Randy-Dandy-O", "Leave Her, Johnny", and "Fish in the Sea".

One of the things I’m grateful to have been introduced to over the last several years are sea shanties. I’m listening to Wellerman again now, and lyrics are included in this link for anyone who would like them:
