The Power of Music and a Sailor’s Singing Trial
A sea voyage tale centers on a Yankee aboard a river or ocean vessel who, after a humorous tale of survival, agrees to sing Old Hundred. He recounts how gold rush adventures in California sparked his journey, from foraging by a forge to facing a pack of prairie wolves. His improvised song eases tensions and ends with unanimous applause.
