Over a long car ride yesterday I had the chance to listen and sing along to Stan Rogers' entire discography. To my delight, I've discovered that Stan Rogers writing songs for his own baritone range means that, as an amateur mezzo-soprano who's been in and out of choirs (alto/tenor in a pinch) his whole life, I'm actually really well-situated to sing his songs up the octave.

Like, the low parts are fun as hell to sing and the high parts are not impossible in the keys he's chosen. Except for The Nancy. Fuck The Nancy in particular.

Shark Papers: In 1799 when Britain was at war with France a ship called The Nancy was seized by the British and taken to Port Royal for unlawful trading. The Captain swore that his vessel was American, but then another British ship arrived and produced documents found inside a shark showing that the captain was lying. The papers can be seen at the Institute of Jamaica.
