      @@mgy401 All but a few of the Navy Band members are enlisted; they only have a handful of officers, and none of the performers are civilians. All the vocalists currently on the roster are Petty Officer 1st Class, Chief Petty Officer, or Senior Chief Petty Officer. The service bands recruit from the civilian sector as well as from currently serving members of the service. If you are recruited from the civilian sector you go through basic training the same as all other service recruits, but I believe there is an accelerated promotion schedule.

    I've been a member of the renaissance festival community for 38 years. I've heard a lot of music, variations, and bands over the years. Even now, my husband plays in a traditional Irish Céilí band, with folk tunes, shanties, and other music from the British Isles thrown in. Your version of "the Wellerman" gave me goosebumps. I agree with another comment that said seeing and hearing actual Navy members in dress Whites (and great voices) made a huge difference in how they see the song. I know that your version is the one for me. Thank you for your hard work and your service.

      The Germans version completely removes all references to whaling. They literally ruined this song by removing its historic context.
      The German version is shamefully “woke” and they should be ashamed for doing it. It is an insult to the tradition of sea shanties and an historical and musical abomination.

    This kind of misses the mark for me. It was too slow, and while the vocals were spot on it didn't have the resonance of being sung by a salty whaler. It's akin to a lounge singer trying to sing Highway to Hell by AC/DC while playing the piano.
