Thread Name: Whale songs CD
Subject: RE: Whale songs CD
Harry Robertson's Whale Chasing Men is in CD format. It is without doubt the best song and poetic chronicle of Antarctic whaling in the post World War ll era. Robertson was at Leigh Harbor South Georgia and was able to capture the methodology, technology and sheer butchery of the large rorqual whales.Wee Pot Stove and Humpback Whale are two of his compositions. AL Lloyd was also in these southern latitudes on a whaler about the same time.
