  1. 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.

  7. 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.

    *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.

  11. What will we do with a hot #coffee? (x4)
    Early in the morning!
    Have to wake up and up I rise (x4)
    Early in the morning!
    Put it in my gut (x4)
    Early in the morning!

  12. I love #TraditionalMusic from many parts of the world, but don’t play it, or even much sing it, but for #SeaShanties, which you are encouraged to sing even when your volume exceeds your tunefulness.

    I am fascinated by #HandCrafted things, and I want to get back into #ceramics and learn more #crochet, but mainly make #papiermâché, especially masks.

    I am fascinated by #archaeology and #PreModern and #EarlyModern history and literature, especially, but not exclusively #plays.
