Having been a fan of the TV series I couldn't wait to get off work and drive over. Hailing the Mimi from the dock a young man came on deck and we had a few beers and swapped sailor stories. The Mimi was in town at the Museum Of Science and History for educational purposes. So upon disembarking the young man gave me the tape with the songs and a book with the sheet music. All the songs are believed to be in public domain and performed by the Crew of the Mimi so that the old lore might not fade into oblivion. And so my purpose is to perpetuate their availability. PS Thanks to the young man ( I don't recall your name ) who gave this to me all those years ago. PPS I am working on getting the sheet music booklet uploaded somehow.
