I was looking for my favourite video of The Whale with scenes from Moby Dick 1956 & came across a link to it on this site Remaking Moby Dick project
We are Remaking Moby-Dick, again, and you are invited to be a contributor to this International multimodal experimental storytelling project. The project engages artists, writers, painters, photographers, musicians, sailors, schoolchildren and all manner of others, who are outside and in-between these designations, to contribute to our on-going narrative inspired by Melville’s materially eccentric and unwieldy text. For information and inspiration about our first remaking, please look through our site (and, if you are interested in seeing the print translation of the project, please see it at Scribd and/or order from Amazon).

Great to see that Terry and Fred's classic "The Whale" is still in demand.
A long time ago I used to hear this song on the radio while driving down the coast looking for surf.

Hey Allyn,

Melissa here from the Beauty Salon (Toronto), I can't find The song to download/purchase anywhere so you will definately have to drop us a copy in to the salon so we can listen to it.

Hope all is well, have a great weekend.

Any chance of getting the right chords from anyone? My footy team sings the chorus of the song after every win at the presentation. I'd love to get the right chords to play along with the boys. I know there's some chords at the top of this thread but Fred mentions that there a bit off. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Folks,
I grew up hearing an uncle sing/play The Ghost at every family party on his guitar. I've been trying to track it down for years. Now I've found the source..... Email on its way to Fred right now. I've not heard The Whale (maybe I did as kid) but am sure its a classic.
I'd like to be able to play it for my kids at faimly parties.

Many thanks,

Garry

to all those interested in the whale (fielding & dyer) the players from the MICHELL COLLEGE RUGBY CLUB BATHURST (now CSU BATHURST) back in the 70's adopted this tune as a club anthem. On most saturday nights following a match the Oxford hotel would ring to quite a few rousing versions led by the first grade captain, the 'berger. great song, great days, great memories.

Gosh, Guest, there are clues a-plenty in this thread. Why don't you take the trouble to re-read it. It's a great example of why many of us who are interested in how songs were created keep coming back to Mudcat.
