Plains of Mexico - David Coffin

[@Stigmatismenos]

My dad's been hospitilized for a long time due to covid, he's still kicking. If I recall correctly, last song we sung together was Santiana. 62 years young. Greetings from Greece!

[@Himhimhimhimhimhimhim]

Is he okay?

[@Stigmatismenos]

@@Himhimhimhimhimhimhim he's doing better than ever now. Almost back to normal. He is now completely autonomous!

My family ancestry name is coffin who went to Massachusetts in 1600s from Devon, England

[@DavidCoffinMusic]

And built a house in Newbury in 1645, then bought Nantucket in 1659 for thirty pounds and two beaver hats. Tristram Coffin, my great x11th grandfather. His house in Newbury still stands today.

I personally prefer sean deagher but I can agree david coffin is up there

[@BardofCornwall]

Awesome! Love the background of this concert.

I'm being called out to sea...

[@bechulleannaird4753]

One day, this will be appreciated as it should be, maybe like Van Gogh. I thihnk I may be ~1/3 of the views.

[@rchiribogar]

One of my favorites!! And what a wonderful voice!!!!!

[@MoivinSulunker]

The printed version that I found in 1980s had "Santa Ana" instead of "Santiago". Santa Ana was a jew. He had a prosthetic leg, which he hoisted on flagpoles to be saluted by the soldiers.

[@ФедотСтрелец-в3н]

Красота! Очень душевно!

[@Chef316]

Gotta be one of my new most favorite Baritones in the world David! Love your videos!

[@talaananthes]

Do you have the lyrics for your version? Can't quite understand everything

[@DavidCoffinMusic]

No one has ever asked me that before. Here ya go: I wish I was old Stormy’s son, Hooraw Santiano I wish I was old Stormy’s son, all along the plains of Mexico. Chorus: So heave her up and away we go Hooraw Santiano Heave her up and away we go all along the plains of Mexico. I’d build me ship of a thousand tons, Hooraw Santiano And load her up with Jamaican rum, all along the plains of Mexico I’d give ye whiskey and lots of gin, Hooraw Santiano And stay in the port that we was in, all along the plains of Mexico Though times is hard and the wages low, Hooraw Santiano ‘Tis time for us to roll and go, all along the plains of Mexico When I leave this ship I’ll settle down, Hooraw Santiano And marry a tart called Sally Brown, all along the plains of Mexico

[@talaananthes]

Thanks David! Love this version

[@internetkurator9256]

Absolutely beautiful!!!

[@boygotshocked7016]

I believe you are an important key that keeps sea shanties alive

[@willbrowning2812]

Well done

[@Furby098]

Awesome sound! Love this version of this song! Can someone tell me which concertina David is playing? I'm planning to get one. :)

[@DavidCoffinMusic]

This is an English Wheatstone Baritone-treble

[@Furby098]

@@DavidCoffinMusic Thanks a lot, David!

[@scrivthegreat3325]

Fantastic ! very captivating and powerful David. Has similarities with the lyrics of Santy Anno which I've heard sung by Hank Cramer. any chance you could sing your own version of Santy Anno ? Greetings from Great Britain !

[@DavidCoffinMusic]

Ha ha. This is my version.

[@truthbusteryeah5166]

I like the Norwegian version as well.

[@mcstabba]

I'd love to hear that, I'm swedish so I'd probably understand those lyrics (very closely related language). Do you got a link or a name of the band or title of norweigan version?

[@royalirishranger1931]

Brilliant !

[@sanjuancb]

Awesome and powerful. Also, somehow makes the concertina cool?

[@DavidCoffinMusic]

The concertina IS cool!!

[@sanjuancb]

@@DavidCoffinMusic if I wasn't so inept/busy I would give it a try. I have several tin whistles and a mandolin here languishing.
