Lisna, two excellent a cappella posted by you here - and both of them so different, which made it difficult to choose. I kept mulling (Hull-ing? ) over the backstories you posted, which were very helpful especially in the case of Some Old Salty because I was surprised to learn it is a fairly contemporary song. I also like the more compact song structure of Salty and its charming lyrics (with references perhaps to Hull trawlermen with their yellow hats: "Salt fare, North Sea. Weird stare, further than the eye can see. He had a head like a toy shop, bow legged stance off. Must have been the rolling sea."
