The "Cover Songs" on the album

“Row Your Boat” only uses a few words from the children's round, and the music is original. It is so short because it was the first thing I recorded on the Yamaha QY100, and I was simply doing a test track. 

“All For Me Grog” is a 19th century Irish sailor's tune, and it is not technically a sea chantey because it was a recreational song, not a work song like the halyard and capstan chanteys. I thought a dance beat would provide a reasonably silly amount of contrast. This tune actually features a short musical quote from “Row, Row, Row Your Boat!”
