I passed along knowledge of SB's song, "Cumberland's Crew" to boat crews down in Portsmouth, Virginia. There's something visceral about hearing the music and sailing on the water where it happened. Also fun to watch the response of retired lifeboat men to a song where the pretty girl runs off with the Midshipman.
Having used to work on Beatty St,* I get exactly that feeling from 'Victory Square'. It makes me so desperately homesick, for a vibe and a city that just doesn't exist anymore. Nevermind that it was only 20 years ago and not 150! You've trapped it in amber in that song.
“For the next album”
Hyped!
Agree. Hyped!
