Alula Down's comments: "The words to this song minus the last verse were included in A Sailor’s Garland by John Masefield, 1906. According to Mudcat (48684) Sue Bousfield of Scolds Bridle says she "was given the words by Ian Woods in the early 1980s. He said that he found the words in the form of a broadsheet ballad in an old spectacle case brought into a local school by a schoolchild. He sings it vaguely to the tune of the Lowlands of Holland".

"We came across the song while in Polperro, Cornwall. Smuggling in Polperro - as elsewhere - began as popular small-scale trade with local organising to avoid punitive taxations. Locally it was referred to as ‘free trading’. When salt was added to the list of taxed goods in 1693 it had a devastating effect on the Polperro community who relied on salt for preserving pilchards, their main trade and source of income."

Cricket, curious if it’s intentional that you don’t speak over bed music, or if you’re looking for something special?
I’ve always liked how it’s possible to know what time I’m tuning in to Surface noise with Joe, or feelings with Michele based on what’s playing in the background of their mic breaks.

Yeah Jeffrey moved to Canada. He posted the link to his show up there here last week. Shrunken Planet had a bit of a different purview / objective(s) than Everybody's Songs here. But it does scratch a certain portion of that itch.
