      "I love they are sound..." (DEEP SIGH) Yet another one who can't get "there," "they're," and "their"---which is the correct "their" needed here---straight.

      @@mgy401 All but a few of the Navy Band members are enlisted; they only have a handful of officers, and none of the performers are civilians. All the vocalists currently on the roster are Petty Officer 1st Class, Chief Petty Officer, or Senior Chief Petty Officer. The service bands recruit from the civilian sector as well as from currently serving members of the service. If you are recruited from the civilian sector you go through basic training the same as all other service recruits, but I believe there is an accelerated promotion schedule.

    This song had such a big hype and I heard sooo many versions of it, but this one is my absolute favourite. The lead singer is doing a fantastic job. He clearly feels the song a lot, and this little bit of vocal playfulness just makes it so authentic. You can also see and feel that everyone else involved is just really invested in doing a great job here. Very well done, sailors!

    I've been a member of the renaissance festival community for 38 years. I've heard a lot of music, variations, and bands over the years. Even now, my husband plays in a traditional Irish Céilí band, with folk tunes, shanties, and other music from the British Isles thrown in. Your version of "the Wellerman" gave me goosebumps. I agree with another comment that said seeing and hearing actual Navy members in dress Whites (and great voices) made a huge difference in how they see the song. I know that your version is the one for me. Thank you for your hard work and your service.
