Why the Old-Time Sea Shanty Will Make You Feel Much Better
Even If You’re Not a Sailor
Late to the sea-shanty party
Call it literary luck, that stroke of pure bliss when your work leads you to an unexpected discovery that brings you joy.
It happened to me a few days ago, when I was researching a new idea for a book involving the ocean. I was browsing around looking for info on sea shanties, and I happened onto a story I had missed in January, a story that had already trended.
An incredible, happy, rollicking, rousing story that made me sing and laugh and smile. (And how many stories do that for the world?)
It’s never too late to join the party, and believe me, you want to be part of this wildly popular sea shanty craze if you like having a good time.
Why Would You Care About the Historical Sea-Shanty?
Yikes. You may think I’m crazy. Why the heck should you want to know about old sailing songs sung two centuries ago?
Because they’re so much fun!
