    I literally blast your music out my windows, driving down the streets of Seattle, WA at night. At stoplights, people dance. Normally the drunk ones, but the sober ones at least smile. Everyone loves our culture, keep giving me reasons to share it!

    I love this performance - probably have watched it twenty times in the past three days and sent it to every music lover I know. (Yes, I'm a shut-in from the Corona virus, but still..). The whole ensemble works beautifully together, and all the players seem to be enjoying themselves. I know I'm about seven or eight years late in coming to this group. Had I known they were around back in '11, '12, '13, I would have "sailed the seas and come to the holy city of Dublin" to hear them. Yes, I bought the CDs, but the live performances would have been another thing entirely.

    Here are the lyrics:
    Free and Easy
    What can you see from the masthead?
    Spanish ships a - fishing
    What can you see from the masthead?
    A Portugee from Newfoundland
    Rising up on the breaking wave
    Let it carry you over all the sea in the morning
    Weigh, hey, and up she rises,
    Sun is up, the bird's a-wing
    And we're sailing free and easy
    What can you see from the masthead ?
    A trading ship for Galway
    What does he pay for the passage?
    A just reward for the pilot
    Rising up on the breaking wave etc.
    We'll stay at sea when the wind is keen
    and waves begin to billow
    We'll keep to the sea when the wind it fails
    And homeward bound we'll row
    Where shall we go for a cargo?
    We'll run right down to Vigo
    And if the Bay shall make a storm
    We'll take a look in at Bordeaux
    What spy you now form the masthead?
    An Algerine on the quarter
    What shall we do to greet him?
    Acquaint him with our ordnance
    Rising up on the breaking wave etc.
