Skip Henderson & the Starboard Watch @ Quinn's Lighthouse

Every Thursday night at 8pm, Quinn's lighthouse in Oakland hosts fabulous shanty fun with Skip Henderson and the Starboard watch. This footage was taken with a little Sony Cybershot, hence the quality. This is mostly a reference clip for my friends. Jim Nelson is on the Banjo, Skip is to his side.\

A shot in the dark, an "unplugged" fun little video from the folks at Triple Spiral Productions. Triple Spiral Productions can be contacted at

What is the title of this song ?

I have heared it in french when I was a kid.

[333Spiral]

I heard it again last night. I believe its "heave away, Santaino."

[werewolfery361]

its a british Naval sea shanty

"heave away, Santiago"

[333Spiral]

Hmmm, the group seems to think its "Santiano," and its origins were said to be French, but whatever, anything goes in folk music.

Hey Skip, can I join your band - I play sea shanties and I totally want to drop out of society. You know, get sand in me toes and a perpetual beer buzz in me brain. I am not being sarky here mate - I mean it. Is there room for another on that beach - that eternally grounded barge? my most recent video is under "Rum and Onions" by Tim here on youtube. Guitar is my usual venue but I took up the button accordion

@333Spiral Jim is singing "Santiago" but the crowd is singing "Santiano."
