I am doing a collaborative effort with Nashville guitarist Muriel Anderson (qv) for her upcoming album of sea shanties and we are looking for appropriate songs in the key of A or D.

PM me if interested.

You should watch the movie called Fisherman's Friends.

Those guys are actual fishermen who were not seeking musical fame. 10 Cornish fishermen who simply sang while they fished and it came to the attention of a guy who was connected to the music industry. I saw this sometime last year... Good movie based on a true story.

Hi Don

Here we go. Lyrics were written by the wonderful Liz Petty. I will send you the MP3

https://soundcloud.com/joannecoopersa/fishing-the-basin

Copyright Liz Petty
V1
twelve men set sail
at the crack of dawn
three tall masts rigged
the wind was strong

they sailed swiftly
to the Bearing Sea
there was no place else
they would rather be

V2
they set long black nets
as the sun went down
near the shelf divide
where big fish are found

by deep icy waters
the Aurora glowed
higher in the sky
the Northern star shone

C
fishing the basin
of the Bearing Sea
dangerous cold water
can change rapidly
you need a little courage
strong faith and good luck
whisky for warmth
vodka for cuts

V3
they heard the wind howl
as waves grew high
they tossed and turned
keeling to port side

the deck drank water
they bobbed like a cork
men slid and slipped
one fell overboard

C
fishing the basin
of the Bearing Sea
dangerous cold water
can change rapidly
you need a little courage
strong faith and good luck
whisky for warmth
vodka for cuts

V4
in black wild water
he was never found
they threw out ropes but
he was first to drown

they returned to harbor
nine men aboard
hull full of flounder
three men with the Lord

C
fishing the basin
of the Bearing Sea
dangerous cold water
can change rapidly
you need a little courage
strong faith and good luck
whisky for warmth
vodka for cuts

Don, you can use version 2022 pretty much the same as you always did. If you want to use the Utility tracks, or Microchords, that will take some effort but you don’t have to go there.

Dear Josie,

You are always the first out of the shute with help and we all love and appreciate you for that.

I fear that we have missed this opportunity because Muriel is in the studio today. I was unaware of any time constraints.

There definitely will be other opportunities.
