Where have I been?? How on earth did I miss all this kerfuffle about my old shipmate: BUNTS????

Hi - Tom Lewis here and this is the first time I've come across your discussion group. I was sent some of this thread, by a friend, and I thought I would just clear up some of the mis-conceptions that seem to have arisen during this discussion - though I thank everyone for their interest and well intentioned efforts. Here goes:-

The story of BUNTS (The Nautical Dog) is a (95%) true account of the adventure of HMS Striker's mascot, in the summer of 1964, during the ship's visit to Marseilles (France).

Both song, story and folklore; this became (essentially) a piece of 'performance theatre' and was;almost accidentally; captured on tape during a memorable concert at The Center For Wooden Boats, in Seattle, and eventually arrived (in its entirety) on my second CD entitled: "SEA-DOG, SEE DOG!" The rest is history ..... actually ... it's ALL history!

Now .... if someone could put me in touch with Terry Belnor and his group at Aristocrats ????????

Nice to meet you folks, - Tom
