I am not able to get the Rapalje Show on YouTube at 15:00 because of the many concerts we had last weeks. It is always a lot of work and there is just not enough time to get in done. But later today I’ll upload the last Rapalje Show for you. And I’ll try to stay easy and free..

I now really start to feel the pressure of doing so many gigs in a month and trying to keep the video’s coming.
Really hope that you continue to support us on Patreon so I can change some things like editing on a better (faster) computer or letting somebody else do this and some other work that needs to be done for posting videos and livestreams.
Thank you so much for your help and understanding!

Video: Drunken Sailor – Balve Cage
“Drunken Sailor” is a sea shanty, also known as “What Shall We Do with a/the Drunken Sailor”.
The shanty was sung to accompany certain work tasks aboard sailing ships, especially those that required a bright walking pace. It is believed to originate in the early 19th century or before, during a period when ships’ crews, especially those of military vessels, were sufficiently large to permit hauling a rope whilst simply marching along the deck. With the advent of merchant packet and clipper ships and their smaller crews, which required different working methods, use of the shanty appears to have declined or shifted to other, minor tasks. (Wikipedia)
Also know as drunken sailer bij the Irish Rovers
