2009 Chicago Maritime Festival - David Coffin - No More Fish, No Fishermen

[@MrTrenchcoatguy]

This song hurts so much, but I keep coming back.

[@piraltas]

How? How can someone dislike this?

[@dorianvey6675]

Probably because it wasn't sung by Justin Timberlake or Pentatonix. Some people just don't appreciate history.

[@johntiernan7434]

What a beautiful song and singer

[@SamMeeDee]

I hear so much Stan Rodgers in this. I has heard this before I started listening at Stan, and after I did, I thought this was one of his. So powerful and honest

[@rdvqc]

Stan's "Make and Break Harbour" from the mid 70's covered the death of the cod fishery well before most. It's on "Fogarty’s Cove"

[@stanfordgibson]

Breathtaking

[@EgaoKage]

Soon, we'll be singing this song on every coast.. :(

Why do sad

[@lgmcp]

Delighted to see this song on KZbin. I reference it often in discussions about fisheries policy -- plus it's just a great song.

[@GigaChadiusTheStoic]

I bet most are like what tf are you talking about XD

[@musa1274]

[@guywolff]

Great job David on Shelley Posen's wonderful song ...

[@crenfick7750]

haunting

[@Ambidexter143]

@Eugen987654321 You may have heard the Canadian group Finest Kind singing this song. It was written by one of the group's members, Shelley Posen. The other two members are Ian Robb and Ann Downey. You'll find this song on their cd "Heart's Delight".

[@rdvqc]

Worthy of note: Ian's prime instrument is the Concertina

[@fjchild]

Fine performance of Shelley Posen's great song.

Piękna pieśń morza

[@Ambidexter143]

There's some that say things aren't so black They say the fish will all come back Who'll be here to catch them then? No more fish, no fishermen.

[@billbrockman779]

There is a hymn to a very similar tune, but I can’t put my memory on it.

[@pugwashsecond]

"See amid the winter snow," is the tune you may be thinking of.

[@Squarekn0t]

Apalachicola, Florida No More Oysters, No Oystermen

[@garlandremingtoniii4679]

Are you serious??????????? Born and raised here in Pensacola, and 1st I heard of this.

[@CyberdyneSystemsSkynet]

@Ambidexter143 Thanks

[@274pacific]

I hate boats, fishing, the sun, but I will never not Like these songs.

[@CyberdyneSystemsSkynet]

not that I have anything against David Coffin, but I heard a really good version of this on "Simply Folk" a couple months back, it was a larger ensembe, like a quartet or so with a female part, anyone know who did it or where I can find a recording?

[@itsaguinness]

sounded better with audience participation, need the call and response. like his roll the old chariot....
