Yeh just looking.

The main problem with that one seems to be - Liverpool doesn't really come into it.

he goes from cork. goes to America, and now he's off to Cape Horn. In what sense do the judies have him in tow. I heard about the winds, but that seems a bit like a load of twaddle to me.   Liverpoool and its judies is fairly well known - in England at least.

i prefer the 'Liverpool to frisco a roving I went' song. itell you one thing aout that song though. It doesn't seem like a folksong to me. Its too well written. A clear narrative, quite literary language and descriptions. And very concise. The poets hand is very visible.


I don't think the writer is too much before ourtime and possibly of our time.   wonder what Malcolm Douglas knows about it.
