Louisa Jo Killen (né Louis Killen) was one of the most widely influential musicians of the folk revival and a key voice of English traditional song. She was a hard-core, unadulterated folksinger whose passionate delivery was matched by a deep and wide-ranging knowledge of the songs and the working people who made them.
Born and raised in the heart of the industrial North East of England, she came early to a love of folk music. Nurtured by a singing family whose tastes ran from liturgical music to cowboy songs, Irish ballads, grand opera, blues, jazz, classical and local Music Hall, the dominant music in her life has been the folk music of the British Isles. Killen's family background is predominantly Irish: her paternal great-grandfather brought the family from County Mayo to the banks of the River Tyne in 1852. Her grandfather married a Scotswoman and her father an Irishwoman.
Though her ancestry is largely Celtic, being a native Tynesider strongly affected her approach to music. Tyneside is an area that absorbs other cultures and converts them into its own - even after thirty-five years living in the USA, Killen's speaking accent still denoted her roots. The mixture of Irish, Scots and English living in the coal-mining and industrial region known to the ancients as Northumbria set it apart from the rest of England, pulling into it the musical traditions of all three countries while maintaining its own distinct musical style. Killen drew on all four traditions to bring a wide range of folk music to her audiences. To these four is added the Anglo-American tradition of deep-water shantying and sailor ballads common to both nations. Louisa Jo's first-hand experience working aboard brigs, brigantines, schooners and sloops in the late '60s and early '70s put her in the forefront of the current revival of maritime music on both sides of the Atlantic.
In a career spanning over forty years, with more than thirty-five albums/CDs to her credit, Killen's influence as a performer, teacher and inspiration to others was unparalleled. Over forty recordings spanning most of the latter part of the 20th Century. Louisa Jo was a living folk legend.

If you ever do encounter a shark, here’s what to actually do.
1. Always keep your eyes on the shark make sure he knows you see him and don’t move rapidly, he could just be checking you out not meaning any harm.
But if the shark is sort moving quite fast around you, it’s showing signs of aggression and you need to back off.
Still keep your eyes on the shark and slowly and calmly swim back to shore.
But let’s say you got bitten, what you do? First either hit it in the eye, nose or stick your hands in its gils, that are some of the most sensitive parts forcing the shark to let you go. If for some reason he didn’t keep hitting until he does.
Stay safe ;)

I once had an encounter with a shark in Santa Cruz, CA; and it wasn't a nice experience either. To date, I still celebrate my life and cannot understand how on that day I didn't lose my life. Needless to say that I never went back on a surfing board and never will for that matter.
I am very sorry and sad for the lives that were lost to this 2nd apex predator, on that day and until now, I always rejoice when Orcas bring down this mighty beast!
Thanks for reading!
Ben.

Sharks are harmless in 99,9% of all cases they are super animals. I would dive with em no cage without a doubt
@NikitaMaxwell
Wow now I’m scared to learn how to surf now😳🌊

i almost drowned in a swimming pool when i was 14. My wife taught our kids to swim at the hotel's pool where I worked when they were like middle school. I would sit and wiggle my feet from the edge. phuck water deeper than 7 inches ! and definitely to hell with a basin of splash.....
that contains man-eating fish!!!!!!!!

When Mick Fanning was attacked the other surfer he was competing against had seen the attack and swam straight towards Mick to help! He didn't swim away or go to safety, he went towards the shark to help his friend. That bloke is a legend, wish I knew his name. You can see him in the footage cruising by on his board in the red rashy. He is brave and a great person and friend.
@SprinkCalSA
Other guy is a great dude. But live in Jeffreys Bay where it happened and most of us laugh at Fanning for how he acted like he fought it off. All he did was panic flail and the shark moved on like most of thrm do, to us the other dude is awesome but mick is a clown.

The fact dolphins help save a human’s life warmed my heart ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

They've been doing that for a long time. It's why the ancient Greeks thought they were servants of Poseidon.
