Maritime Note
- David HB Drake offers Shorelines program
David HB Drake Veteran folk and maritime musician David HB Drake has made available on YouTube his "Shorelines" concert. It can be viewed here.
Drake, a resident of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, has been offering his music to the public for over 40 years. His album, Fisherman's Beach, is a compilation of 12 maritime songs of Drake's own creation. His first experience with maritime music was a chance opportunity in the late '80s to serve as the shantyman on the 20th century reproduction of the HMS Bounty. An old friend and fellow performer, Bob Dawson, serving as the captain of the vessel as it toured the Great Lakes, invited Drake to join his crew, which began his long association with maritime music.
