I’ve actually looked at a couple of these already – the Bantry Bay Hornpipe for one and I almost took Larry OGaff as the music for South Coast.

Thanks for the suggestions!

Thanks for the Contact Info on Hullabaloo. I’ve got it in the moderation queue but I’m loathe to publish it here since there’s real specific contact phone numbers and all. I’ll definitely consider it.

Lucy MacLean by Hullabaloo as posted by R Mingus is a faster noving tune. I like it.

Seafaring, not seafearing cinema. I certainly hope Ish never feared his “sea.”

I’m all for Mason’s Apron! It reminds me of seafearing cinema, like Master and Commander. Although the title is rather land based, titles essentially should not convey the music, sound should, and I think Mason’s Apron fits Ish’s epic quite well.

It wasn’t the title of Mason’s Apron that put me off, it was more the tone. I listened to many tunes over about four hours searching for my recommendation, many with seafaring titles and only the one I suggested had anything close to the flavor I mentioned before.
After listening to Mason’s Apron yet again its growing on me, but it still does not have quite the same tone as in the previous installments. But I think its alright. This song is more mature(?) than the others, more sophisticated(?); and I imagine that will also be true for Ish in this book (while still having a load of fun).
In any case the decision is made and: Trust Nate

After listening to Garrison’s frolic, I still like The Masons Apron.
