Ross-

I used "The Range of the Buffalo" tune for adapting the John Masefield poem "The Ballad of John Silver" for singing, not "Sea Traders." It took me some time to figure that one out but fortunately I have a website with such references!

Barry-

Really lovely!

Reminds me of a little U.S. Coastguard ditty I once composed:

I remember well how our old chief said,
As he gently stirred me from my bed,
"Rise up, me lad, and clean the head!"
Now, those swabbing days are gone.

Cheerily,
Charley Noble
