Linn-

"Fresh-Water Whaling" and "Farewell, Superior Sperm" are pretty much the same thing, although I added a chorus and a few lines which shifted the whaling grounds from some mytical lake in Minnesota to the great Green Bay. The song had haunted me for years after hearing it first sung by Si Kahn at the Wheatland Festival in Michigan in the late 1970's; that image of setting out the whale decoys in the misty morn.

I've refreshed the thread which has much of this discussion, as a thread drift from "Fishfingers."

Just drifting along...singing this song...side by each!

Cheerily,
Charley Noble
