Every so often, Mystic Seaport releases a CD of a particular Sea Music festival with a cut from every performer. The 1999 festival was released in 2000 with Cliff presenting one of his “signature” songs, Old Moke Pickin’ On A Banjo. Check with www.mysticseaport.com for information on this and other festival releases.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Cliff was the catalyst for the forming of the singing group with the Ancient Mariners Fife & Drum Corps – The Ancient Mariners Chanteymen. This album is dedicated to our man!

 

 

 

 

This album below is a wonderful collection of gems for the collector of sea music recordings! I am not aware if it has been officially released on CD or MP3, but one might find a copy via Ebay. I have a copy I digitized myself and if you are looking for a copy, send me a comment request. Meanwhile, below is a sound segment of Louis Killen ripping out the tune Ten Penny Bit, followed immediately by Cliff singing The Dreadnought with a chorus of Jeff Warner, Gerret Warner, and Tony Saletan.
