Sea songs album someday?
 

I was reading the interview he did about the Shadows album at http://www.lightfoot.ca/talkshad.htm
where he talked about Triangle, and where he says "And it's a completely philosophical song - it's a sea chantey. Of which I've written many, as a matter of fact, one day, I would like a whole album of sea-songs, and songs about the water, I'd like to have them all "published" on one album."

Anybody ever hear any more about that? Nominations for the album? Any possibility of a previously unrecorded number thrown in for good measure?

I compiled a set of songs like this for my older brother who lives in the Puget Sound area of Washington, USA. He used to have a big boat before the Recession hit.
Marie Christine
Christian Island
Seven Island Suite
Rainbow Trout
Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald
Ghosts of Cape Horn
On the high seas
Triangle
Boathouse
A passing ship

A brilliant proposal but this is by no means a new idea to corfiddlers
In fact there is an old thread from April 2005
"Categories for Custom CDs "at:-
http://www.corfid.com/vbb/showthread.php?p=77858
in which a young lady named "brink" said:-
"I will have to do this a tape at a time sorry.
Sea Songs:

Edmund
Yarmouth Castle
A Passing Ship (sort of)
Ghosts of Cape Horn
Christian Island
Maie Christine
High and Dry
Triangle
Seven Island Suite
Shadows (cause I needed another song)
Song for a Winter's Night (same as above)."
In addition the long lost artist known as zoneranger created a suitable CD cover mock up that used to be on his own website and he displayed it in a thread also from 2005 with the catchy subject title
Sea Dogs Album at:-

But of course what about
the fantastic unreleased
"Face Of a Thousand People"
in honour of Helen Of Troy who allegedly had
The Face That Launched a Thousand Ships!!
Well it's close!!
As an addendum to that I just read
"At the end of the Trojan War, the belly of the Trojan Horse (from which we get the expression "beware of Greeks bearing gifts" sneakily transported Greeks into Troy where they set fire to the city, killed the Trojan men, and took many of the Trojan women as concubines. Helen of Troy returned to her original husband, Menelaus"
