    One of the songs on the album, Dawson's Christian, was recently redone by Vic Tyler:

    I recently came across Vixy and Tony's cover of Dawson's Christian and have been on a "space shanty" kick since then. Carmen Miranda's Ghost is an album by Leslie Fish (and some from Vic Tyler)...

    Carmen Miranda's Ghost is an album by Leslie Fish (and some from Vic Tyler) featuring a number of such space shanty "filk" songs.
