The mission of the KelticDead Music initiative is to find tunes and songs from around the world that have  
Celtic, Folk, World, Americana, and Seafaring origins, and arrange them into simple sheet music formats for folk  
musicians to use, as well as provide links for the music that follows the arrangements to help in hearing how it can be  
played. In addition, other links are provided for the stories and possible lyrics about the selections within video-  
based, KDM Broadsides for a music-education experience.  
All the selections and sheet music content provided in the KelticDead Music initiative are from traditional, made-  
public, made-public with credits, or cited credits where applicable. This material content is given with permissions.  
Patrick O. Young, KelticDead Music.  
Storms are on the Ocean  
On some songs A.P. did not  
perform at all, and in most  
cases, he sang harmony,  
background vocals, and only  
on occasion did he sing lead  
vocal.  
The song is one of many  
traditional Americana Folk tunes  
that come from the “rural music”  
genre in the 1920s and 30s. It  
was made popular by the Carter  
Family who followed the tight  
harmonies of mountain gospel  
music and shape note singing.  
The original group consisted of  
A.P. Carter (Alvin Pleasant  
Delaney Carter) and his wife,  
Sarah Carter. Maybelle Carter  
was married to A.P.’s brother,  
Ezra Carter (Eck), and was also  
Sara’s first cousin. See the photo  
to the right. Maybelle is the one  
holding the guitar.  
All three were born and raised in  
Southwest Virginia. Sarah Carter  
normally sang lead vocals and  
played rhythm guitar or the  
autoharp, and Maybelle sang  
harmony and played the lead  
guitar.
