It looks like a day for travel and voyage. Sooner or later, by one route or another, sea songs are going to feature pretty frequently in my playlists. And today's selection includes quite a few classics of the genre. With names like Ewan MacColl, A.L. Lloyd, The Clancy Brothers and The Dubliners to the forefront. Amsterdam is included as a city theme, but it'll surprise no one that Jacques Brel's eponymous song at the front of that list.
