    He's telling a lesson. He teaches the folk to do a "long haul" shanty they pull in time after 30 secs training through a song.. That's how they rolled, or pulled back in the day.
    "What shall we do with the drunken sailor," is a short haul shanty.. Different rhythms for different jobs. All about keeping time. I love this.

      @@weeeeee831 The most common would be the halyard rigging. Basically pulling up the main sail. One of the reasons this would be done is in preparation for a storm. A verse not used in this demonstration sings

    aw come one guys the woman was really sweet I think for actually participating like HE WANTED TO. He asked and no one answers, so she just volunteered and now everyone says 'she annoys them.' That's so odd to me. And her not actually 100% pulling the rope is probably because of back problems, at one point in the video she I think tells him she can't do it like that so 'she will do it like this.' She just acts confident, but thats totally fine, more power to her.

      She's great! She has a tag on, so she's a festival volunteer. She jumped in because nobody else did; way to break the ice for others and not leave David hanging.
      She looks very self-conscious in the beginning; I'd say not accustomed to public performance. She spends most of her time watching David closely, probably worried that she hasn't got the movements quite right. But her joy once she settles in is wonderful.

Also can you clear up what you mean by his 'predecessors'? Do you mean everyone who's ever lived before him? I'm a little unclear. I had a little look at your profile to try and guess what you meant. Was is a misunderstanding? I see your favourited videos are 'Overwatch . Rip Butt'. , 'New Nigerian Queen of Vagina' and 'Milo explains why you're all wrong about anti semitism'
      I'd love to know more about what you can share with me about my predecessors, and his, and well, I suppose everyones.
      Nice to meet you I cant wait for the enlightenment to strike. (Dont worry theres no zombies, its not Fox New's) Like the Hat in the profile pic btw it suits you very well. You look very gallant. If you get a chance please fill me in a bit more on British and World Folk sea shanty traditions. Let me tell you I'm an empty cup just waiting to be filled.

    When I was a little lad
    And so my mother told me,
    Way, haul away, we'll haul away, Joe!
    hat if I did not kiss the gals
    Me lips would all grow moldy.
    Way, haul away, we'll haul away, Joe!
    Way, haul away, the good ship is a-bolding,
    Way, haul away, we'll haul away, Joe!
    Way, haul away, the sheet is now unfold-ing,
    Way, haul away, we'll haul away, Joe!
    King Louis was the king of France
    Before the revolution
    Way, haul away, we'll haul away, Joe!
    But then he got his head cut off
    Which spoiled his constitution
    Way, haul away, we'll haul away, Joe!
    Way, haul away, we'll haul for better weather
    Way, haul away, we'll haul away, Joe!
    Way haul away, we'll haul away together
    Way, haul away, we'll haul away, Joe!
    The cook is in the galley boys
    Making duff so handy
    Way, haul away, we'll haul away, Joe!
    The captain's in his cabin lads
    Drinking wine and brandy
    Way, haul away, we'll haul away, Joe!
    Way, haul away, I'll sing to you of Nancy
    Way, haul away, we'll haul away, Joe!
    Way, haul away, she's just my cut and fancy
    Way, haul away, we'll haul away, Joe!
    Way, haul away, we'll haul for better weather
    Way, haul away, we'll haul away, Joe!
    Way haul away, we'll haul away together
    Way, haul away, we'll haul away, Joe!
