The best music trend of the past year was clearly the rebirth of the sea shanty on tiktok -- after all, what better way to keep morale high during the lockdowns of the past year than a genre of music designed to foster a sense of community on extended seafaring journeys? Here's my ragtime version (with a few variations) of "Soon May The Wellerman Come," as recently popularized by The Longest John.

    Killer playing. I just wish more people knew how hard that stride bass is. It's like running full speed at a house with a key in outstretched hand, hoping the key finds the lock before your face finds the door.

    I love your analogy. I have learned several pieces by Joplin and I'm always a little disappointed by how easy it looks because it sure takes a lot of work. It kind of just looks like bouncing around carefree but internally one really has to focus to land on the right chord.

But, I imagine that the original post was referencing the Golden Age of Piracy (a lá Pirates of the Caribbean) which existed during the early 18th century, long before the Wild West and Cowboys as they, as is culturally recognized, existed during the mid-to-late 19th and early 20th centuries.
