Isn't It Grand, Boys?

This is a fun old sea shanty about that magical mixture-grog. Grog was introduced to the Royal Navy in 1740. It was a mixture of rum and water. This served two purposes. One, the alcohol would kill the algae in fresh water so it was fresh water was still drinkable. Two, since sailors would often save up their rum rations and get pissed all at once, the combined water and rum ration made their binges less dangerous. It was continued to serve to the Royal Navy until 1970.Released under a Creative Commons Noncommercial ShareAlike License.

Drink up me hearties! MARC GUNN puts on a pirate hat as Captain Black Jack Murphy, Pirate Extraordinaire and Irish piratanical vocalist for Irish Stout presents a weekly podcast featuring Irish songs, seafaring music, sea shanties, pirate music and sometimes rude indecency from across the seven seas.

Perfectly done. I just started getting into my Irish roots so I decided to check out what iTunes had to offer and I stumbled upon this (along with Marcs other podcasts). This is one of my favorites podcasts period! I love the pirate voice!!!

Amazing

Such wonderful personality

Which came first the chicken or the egg. I first learned about "Johnny I Hardly Knew Ye" from a popular American version written during the Civil War. That song "When Johnny Comes Marching Home" was first published in 1863 as "Words and Music by Louis Lambert," which was a pseudonym for Patrick Sarsfield, 1829-1892. Patrick was a native of Ireland who emigrated to Boston. "When Johnny Comes Marching Home" is a rousing song about a hero returning from war.The first published version of "Johnny, I Hardly Knew Ye" came out several years after Sarsfield's song. Nevertheless, it is strongly believed to have originated in Ireland.It's a much more somber song that tells about the woes and horrors of war in the popular folk tradition of describing the body parts blown off a soldier who does not come home to his love.Released under a Creative Commons Noncommercial ShareAlike License.
