Boys singing "what should we do with a drunken sailer" in their locker room: 55 million views Legend David Coffin sending us back in time 200 years with his booming voice surrounded by a real ocean: 8k views
I mean they both deserve views because they both bring attention to the world of Sea Shanties but it's really saddening that this treasure has so little views
all boats get lifted in a rising tide. Many will discover this legend. My son plays Sea of Thieves. Awesome video game with pirate theme and great music. Sea Shanties.
This music is so powerful David is very proud to be a 🇺🇸 he’s voice is very powerful. He really understands the links between us and our links to Maritime music. It’s incredible.
David is a living future descendant of those who had to withstand the peril of sea for generations. This is within him entirely, and it's something to behold.

Thank you for your music. My grandfather was one of the last of those brave men of commercial ships. He was shipwrecked twice, once on the coast of Java when his ship ran aground off the coast of Java when it was opened by a coral reef. The ship was lost, but being so close to shore, the men and cargo were saved. In the second, the ship must have been caught by a hurricane or similar storm in the North Atlantic. The sails were all unreeved except for the main top royal whose lines were torn. A young sailor was sent up to tie cut free the sail but he became lashed to the mast by torn away lines. It is hard to imagine how much leverage the topmost sail can do in a gale, but the wind upon it split the ship in two. On the other end of the mast, below deck, was the ship's carpenter's station. When the ship's carpenter, my grandfather, heard the ship starting to groan, he placed his fingers in the holes meant for screwdrivers and wrenches on the table that surrounded the mainmast and, as soon as he was as secure as was possible, the ship parted from him on either side. Thus he and the young man on the other end were in the deep for a day before the mast was beached on southwestern Ireland, from where they were eventually brought back to their home port. When there were hardly any jobs on sailers, he joined the US Navy, serving long enough to gain American citizenship(he was Norwegian but fluent in English having served on British and American sailers as well as Norwegian).
David has it all. He has attained everything he aspires to be. He even plays English concertina, which is a handful ! To see John and Tony one more time was the best. Happy New year David Coffin.
Thank you so much Revels and David Coffin for this video. We are Revels fans and David has been at our California Revels more than once. What a great voice. Gorgeous choice of sea ballads and shantys. I can't thank you enough for including John Roberts & Tony barrand who I absolutely love and have followed for years and years. Oakland CA 2021
Thanks, David, for the the great performance! I first heard the whale-ship Essex story, and its relation on Moby Dick from my old time friend and colleague marine biologist Rick Coffin. Indeed, suggest everybody interested to read The Heart of the Sea.
I had stumbled upon sea shanties shortly before the end of 2020 by painting a beautiful ship for a tabletop wargame for a client and among the first songs I discovered was Roll The Chariot sung by you back in 2010 as well as discovering Stan Rogers. I miss that ship but I have found other big ships for wargaming to paint and just now, I was painting the captain's quarters of one listening to this. It's the only way to paint a sailing ship in my opinion.
This was such a wonderful thing to accidentally stumble upon. It has certainly helped to make my day better. I enjoyed hearing the chanties both familiar and unfamiliar alike.
Fantastic! I took a dive into sea shanties at the onset of the pandemic, while reading Moby Dick for the first time. Your music has come along for the ride!
I cannot express how greatly I appreciate you, Mr. Coffin and the Revels for putting this on. I'm an "ex-pat", living in Iowa for the time being, who makes the trip out east yearly for the Sea Music Festival at Mystic. With the festival canceled this year, I desperately needed something like what you have provided. Thank you. A question: I'm also about to get in a ton of trouble with my wife so I might as well do it right! I'm wanting to purchase a concertina with the express purpose of accompanying sea music and the more than occasional drinking song. What kind of a concertina are you playing and what would you suggest as a solid starter instrument for a lifetime musician? *Having done a spot of research, I'm thinking you are playing an English concertina, due to the note not changing with the push and pull (allowing for things like a long drone) and the playing of the melody with both hands? However, there are a ton of buttons! 'Tis true?
That's not the ocean?? Wow, completely fooled me. I never would have noticed if you didn't say something, that's incredible. Cudos to your talented mother.
Good people give hear if you’re willing For I have some stories for you! And the tales that I’ll tell they are good ones Concerning the old and the new On our trip we sail all together Through the seas and the rivers of time And the cargo so precious we’ll carry They are stories in rhythm and rhyme So come now with me, my companion We are hoping to not run aground And since you’ve got a voice the singing You must join in this boisterous sound Now there is just one more thing I should tell you That our ship is both Sturdy and true And her name it is imagination And the crew who will sail her, are you
I love it. I was surprised by Tony and John joining you. It was fabulous! I did know John but somehow missed out on Tony as I am slowly getting into Shanti.
The Calling on Song. He has opened a few shows with this tune (e.g., Chicago Maritime Festival) and each time the lyrics are altered a bit by him. Steeleye Span also performs this on their album, Hark! The Village Wait. It isn't a shanty, as it is not used for working aboard a ship.
The name Yankee was a term used by British soldiers for the Dutch settlers of New York City, the Hudson Valley and, westernmost Conn(the explanation is for another time). It was a term of contempt, despised by the Dutch and somehow the term moved eastward. The New York Yankees were hardly jealous of the New Englanders. Perhaps, it was the other way around. In any case, the baseball team is named after those original Yankees and has nothing to do with New England.
Why let facts get in the way of a good story? I honestly don’t believe anyone was really taking me seriously about the NY Yankees. Sorry if I misled anyone.
David Coffin has such a powerful voice. Him singing “The Humane Society” brought me to tears. He’s also an amazing person. Thank you David ❤

i know I'm pretty randomly asking but does anyone know a good website to stream new movies online?
What a voice? This man is awesome.

Fantastic voice. Great squeezebox accompaniment
51:00 oddly specific... I love it
13:33 Rolling Down to Old Maui
One of my favorites to put on while doing kitchen or cleanup work. Old Maui is one I really enjoy.
giving up my nursing career to become a pirate

Beautiful Voice!

Only mummers can save us now.
I's the b'y.
You have the voice of an angel. Thank you
Amazing songs, gorgeous venue. Thank you David and Revels!! 👏👏👏
This was such a wonderful thing to accidentally stumble upon. It has certainly helped to make my day better. I enjoyed hearing the chanties both familiar and unfamiliar alike.

Hi David. I love these seafaring songs. Great music; great venue.
This must be some of the best music i have ever heard! Greetings from Greece!
How marvelous this was. Thank you Revels, again and again.
Fantastic! I took a dive into sea shanties at the onset of the pandemic, while reading Moby Dick for the first time. Your music has come along for the ride!

I needed this today

Liam. Just seeing this comment. Please feel free to contact me through my website davidcoffin.com and we can talk concertinas and spousal troubles.
If you are still in Iowa whereabouts? I am literally in the center of the state not far from where I-35 and Hwy. 30 meet.
Best wishes.
@@arronsmith3813 Southeastern Iowa. Glad you found this gem of a performance!

this guy's pretty funny
Good people give hear if you’re willing
For I have some stories for you!
And the tales that I’ll tell they are good ones
Concerning the old and the new
On our trip we sail all together
Through the seas and the rivers of time
And the cargo so precious we’ll carry
They are stories in rhythm and rhyme
So come now with me, my companion
We are hoping to not run aground
And since you’ve got a voice the singing
You must join in this boisterous sound
Now there is just one more thing I should tell you
That our ship is both Sturdy and true
And her name it is imagination
And the crew who will sail her, are you
I love it. I was surprised by Tony and John joining you. It was fabulous! I did know John but somehow missed out on Tony as I am slowly getting into Shanti.
Great backdrop! What is this venue?
Time stamp?
Mid 2020 based on the fair weather and him talking in the same way we did when covid just began.
So probably march-may 2020
What is the name of the shanty in the beginning with the ship imagination?
The Calling on Song. He has opened a few shows with this tune (e.g., Chicago Maritime Festival) and each time the lyrics are altered a bit by him. Steeleye Span also performs this on their album, Hark! The Village Wait. It isn't a shanty, as it is not used for working aboard a ship.

With due respect, Mr. Coffin, a Yankee is anyone from north of the Mason-Dixon line.
Sincerely,
The South
