Seán Dagher - South Australia - Just The Shanty 9

[@TheOriginalStix]

As a South Australian I'll always listen to this one! Love your work, Seán!

[@rimurutempest5377]

Thanks for making the "just Shanty" Editions, it makes playlists much easier to do. Good Sea Shanty as always.

[@SeanDagher]

That's exactly the idea: playlist-friendly.

[@BearSonOfBear]

Adelaide is genuinely a grand old town. Especially if you like drink and a feed.

[@Robert6P6M]

I'd love to have sheet music for these, I'd really like to sing them with my men's choir.

[@SeanDagher]

I am working soon a book for that. Soon.

I found myself pumping pallet jacks to the tune at work xP Real bellower, this shanty! One of my new favorites

[@SeanDagher]

Awesome. Work songs for work. It works.

[@neffomp]

@@SeanDagher I can confirm. It works to listen to work songs at work.

[@michaelsommers2356]

I've wondered whether the "rolling kings" have anything to do with kingposts. I imagine that quite a lot of heaving and hauling would have been required---if ships of the era used them, that is.

[@SeanDagher]

Oh, that's a good thought. I'm not sure exactly what it refers to, but that's a great theory.

[@LifesGuardian]

Added to the shanty playlist. Thanks, Cap'n!

[@stephenburrows4250]

"Rolling Kings" - big waves...? Just guessing....

[@SeanDagher]

Could be. Good theory.

[@jarredrudolph3115]

@@SeanDagher Could very well be, The Great Australian Bight is very well known for it's rough seas and storms. We often joke about being sucked into port every time we pass Adelaide as something is bound to break on board as we transit the bight!

@@jarredrudolph3115 Nice to have testimony from a sailor who knows the spot.

[@MrKatsworth]

This is beautiful man. Thanks for sharing your amazing voice!

[@darthlaurel]

The three year old said, "Again!" as soon as this was over so we played it three times.

I like it

Yes.

His neighbours must hate him.

[@SeanDagher]

The family gets pretty annoyed when I'm singing all 30 voices.

Hm, Sou 'Stralia

[@Burvedys]

It's too cheerful considered Oz country being the British Siberia... :)

[@purshottamadevadhikar5035]

Well south australia was never used for convicts and was settled by free settlers. Also has a climate similar to southern italy. So honestly nothing like siberia.
