Thread creep perhaps, but I was only vaguely aware of Robertson as a "name in the background" until a couple of years ago when my local radio station played Nic's version of "The Humpback Whale" (without any reference to HR) in connection with a news item about whale watching/counting here on the Oz east coast and pricked up my ears with re-hearing "out of Ballina we'll sail/fishing for the humpback whale" - Ballina being a local (ish) fishing port to me. Cut a long story short, I did some sleuthing about Harry's background, and came up with this (there was a shorted version before): Wikipedia: Harry Robertson (folk singer) Maybe something more there of interest, who knows! Best - Tony Rees, Australia
