So they're playing along, swinging along pretty heavily on Charade, and then you hear this long sustained high sax note, going on for bar after bar after, then you realize, "dang if that isn't Roland Kirk" and sure enough by the end of the song he's playing two or three instruments, bringing some spicy weirdness to the arrangement. He's featured on three of the cuts.

There's also apparently some sessions Rahsaan did with Bette Midler- if that's true, I'd love to hear those.

Too many shanties!!! 😀 I'm at work in Hotel Hafen Hamburg and our "friendly" piano man / bartender Maic is torturing me and our guests with all this sailor song stuff! 🙄
Selection (translated titles):

- Sailorman, please come home (please stay, where you are!)
- One lonesome harmonica (poor little one)
- Why do sailors count the stars at night (i suppose some kind of autism)
- The heart of St. Pauli (OK, this is a nice song!)
- The red light at portside (what else! hear me: it's portside not starboard!)
- Take me away, my blonde sailor...

Yes, take me away! I cannot bear it any longer! :bawling: 😀
