SAILORS’ CONSOLATION

Recorded 2014 by Steve Bullock, Jeeves Audio Services.
As Danny sang his beloved songs of the sea, you could feel the movement of the ship, taste the salt air. His rhythm was always just right. He knew the excitement and dangers of being ‘on the water’, wanted to share that with his audience, hoping they’d join in the chorus.
