Take A Little Bit Of Sea Shanty



Canadian songwriter Stan Rogers was taken away from us way before his time. It was an unfortunate plane crash that took his life and brought alot of tears to fans all around the world. We were fortunate on the other hand to have a wide array of sea shanties that Stan has left behind for us to enjoy and sing along with him. This video gives me personally goosebumps from head to toe. Being from the Canadian Maritimes like Stan there's nothing I love more to see a bunch of friends sitting around the table, enjoying a few drinks and singing their hearts out. Not for money or the fame, no just for the pure fun of it. Its a tradition around here, its how alot of the songs were written, just sitting around looking out your window at the waves crash the rocks. How can you not write a great song and Barrett's Privateers is a great sea shanty. It sounds great with a table full of guys, no instruments, just bring your voice. Beauty.
