Night watch...


Right now the song that is most listened to on the Ipod is "Lukey" by "Great Big Sea" (with The Chieftains doing their thing in support of the cause as well!) a band out of Nova Scotia...

Gaelic influenced music by its very nature just seems to fit on boats and for me, a guy who plays music to keep awake on those long night watches a song like "Lukey" is like a triple shot of Espresso on steroids. The only problem is the needful foot tapping tends to wake up the off watch crew!

I've always wanted to see this band but as of yet have not had the pleasure. Lucky for us there is a pretty good DVD concert which includes a CD that will help make those night watches a little easier... Great Big Sea
