Ensign James Rice
Ambassador at Sea
When a ship pulls into a foreign port, the sailors are desperate to escape the factory-floor conditions they lived and worked in for months on end. At sea days are narrow, monotonous, and stress-filled. Then the crew worries away their few days on shore in a frenzy of euphoria until it’s time to ship off again. The music on this playlist is meant to carry the soul through the haze-grey days onboard, in wet limbo between port visits. Ensign James Rice, US Navy, is currently stationed on a destroyer out of Tokyo Harbor, where he will remain for the foreseeable future.
