It’s International Talk Like a Pirate Day Sept 19, 2022, sea shanties are about as close as you’ll get for Pirate songs I’d imagine. A couple years ago shanty’s were all the rage thanks to Nathan Evans and Tik Tok, Youtube and other social media, I thought a repost was in order to mark the day.

I have mentioned before I have a friend of Irish descent, and the classic Irish drinking songs are closely related to (if not a few of them considered) sea shanty’s themselves. Add to this that I’m half Newfoundlander on my mother’s side, also I have a close friend from a Haven Port in the UK so I’m somewhat familiar with the genre.
