Thanks to Susie Mudd and the staff at Music Monthly for posting a nice little blurb about "The Swinging Sailor of Perryman" in the September 2005 "21st Anniversary" issue. She writes, "I'm sitting here listening and typing and smiling - that to me is what a good record is all about." Her favorite cut: "Rocksteady and Rum". |

“The Swinging Sailor of Perryman” features lots of world music influences, including sounds from New Orleans, Jamaica, Trinidad, South Africa, and Cuba. The title track is based on the story of sea captain John Clark Monk, an almost mythical figure in Chesapeake Bay folklore. Local legend has long maintained that the eccentric Monk was ‘buried’ by his ship’s crew in keeping with his last request – that his feet never again touch dry land. His coffin, which is an historical attraction in the town of Perryman, Maryland, was suspended from anchor chains, making Monk a true “swinging sailor”!
