Belated shanty of the week: Quare Bungle Rye

Things still seem pretty slow here.

I was temporarily held hostage by a proa-load of Dyak shamanesses and couldn't post a shanty last week. Luckily I escaped while they were preoccupied w/ the Pen State scandal and can now post again.

Inspired by a local house concert by Gordon Bok, here is... not quite a shanty, but a well-loved song about a young woman who leaves a sailor with child (yes, you read that right). Comes w/ a MIDI file (apparently; my computer won't open it).

PS Does anybody actually read any of this stuff? Please leave a comment.
