Roland Vinyard,

"The Bard Rocks"

The Sea

Songs of the Sea were mostly made for groups of unschooled singers to sing, folks who did not have room to take (m)any musical instruments to accompany them.  Consequently, they are very singable songs, often with easy parts for others to join in on. Nothing is so exciting as to hear a roomful of folks singing their hearts out on songs such as these.
