Haul Away from Still by Larry Mindel
Working life can mean being away from home for long stretches of time. There is lots of great stuff about adventure - but perhaps one loses as much as one gains...

Lyrics
Got a girl in Boston
I got a girl in Mangrove Bay
Got a girl in Rio
Man they’re all the same -
Haul away boys, haul away
Know a bar in Porto
I know a bar in Catalan Bay
Know a bar in Piraeus
Man they’re all the same -
Haul away boys, haul away
And though the sun is shining
I’d rather the wind did blow
I’d fly on a silver lining
To take me where my heart would go
Learned a song in Osaka
Learned a song in old Bombay
One in Durban
Man they’re all the same -
Haul away boys, haul away
And though the sun is shining
I’d rather the wind did blow
I’d fly on a silver lining
To take me where my heart would go
There’s a town I call home
My friends drink, sing our songs
A girl there
Keeps me strong -
Haul away boys, haul away
Haul away boys, haul away
Haul away boys, haul away

Larry Mindel makes music that draws on folk and jazz traditions.
His songs see people in out of the way places -the frozen Antarctic, a wetlands in New Zealand, the Australian outback, Suffolk lowlands, remote Scottish islands...
Larry came to music late in life. He has always written songs, made private mixtapes, and gigged in various bands. Only now, in his 70s, is he hitting his stride!
