Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Dillon Bustin / Lifesavers of Port Judi
Hi sciencegeek,

I'm afraid I don't know of your exact song, but I thought you might be interested to know that Dillon Bustin has also written a wonderful ballad, "The Humane Society" which also deals with Martha's Vinyard Indians who, around the 1900's, almost exclusively manned the life boats on that Island. It concerns the loss of the "City of Columbus" out of Boston near the island.

I was also thinking that your song might be about "Point Judith" instead of "Port Judith". Point Judith is along the southern coast of Rhode Island.

In any event, good luck with your quest.
