Sailor Variations

A quick little thing.

I have been filling in for a band here in Melbourne who play folk-rock stuff, and one of the tunes we did is the trad. "Drunken Sailor" song. So in a fit of lack of inspiration for WB stuff, I did a couple of variations on the theme, including a bit of a take on the original at the start.

Feel like doing a bit of a jig now.  Funny ending smile

nice work with the phrasing

Thanks, guys. Yeah, I thought a bit of glitch wouldn't go astray. smile

if you're interested in this kinda stuff, look up the band furious frank from chicago, some of my friends are in that band. they do sea shanties and other folky things.

Could definitely do with an accordion; something about those always complete these tunes.
