[Need to place typed out gestures here.]
Geoff Grainger has this to say of "Swing Low" (from his
website):
- I learned this well known gospel as a Rugby song in my childhood and
remember singing it in 23 Mess, H.M.S. Victorious in the early sixties. We
sang it straight but accompanied the song with comic gestures some of which
were lewd and would be considered offensive outside naval and Rugby circles.
I have a vivid memory of Arthur Copus, at that time a 3rd class shipwright,
performing what I consider the definitive version of this "song with
actions". I leave it to your imagination, dear surfer, to work out a gesture
to match the word "coming"!
