Original and adapted from traditional sea songs, this is a recording of songs performed aboard the Wisconsin Lake Schooner "Denis Sullivan" by variety of artists to teach the lore of the Great Lakes.
Bio / Background
"A Schooner Songbag"...Songs for the S/V Denis Sullivan includes seventeen songs about Wisconsin's Flagship the schooner S/V Denis Sullivan and the history of the Great Lakes. Wisconsin Lake Schooner Artist-in-Residence and "chantyman" David HB Drake and the Schooner Shanty Singers (members of David's Monthly "Shanty Singout" gathering) are joined by a panorama of Milwaukee folk artists featuring Will Branch, Monica Marshall, Kevin Soucie, Rodd Walker, Chuck Ward, Negamojig (The Milwaukee Ojibwe Choir) , and special guest Pete Seeger. Pete Seeger's work with the "Clearwater" on New York's Hudson River was both an inspiration for the Wisconsin Lake Schooner "S/V Denis Sullivan" and a role model for Drake, who served on the "Clearwater " crew. David received the WAMI "Folk Music Artist of the Year 2002" for his work.
The album includes songs adapted from "salt water" Chanties for actual use on the schooner, original compositions, and historic songs of the Great Lakes.
