Believe it or not, I am following up on most of your suggestions.

Mary Garvey & Q, You are correct that the song can't be older than 1992, when cod jigging was banned. As tapes go, that could be considered old in a young person's eyes. ~grin~

Q, I went to Dr. Newman's site and realized from the article that Sharon Shearer would probably have no idea what the tape was that was playing in the background when she captured the teaching moment she referenced. That's too much of a longshot even for me. ~LOL~

EBarnacle, Mary Garvey's reply is valid: "Definitely not," Squid Jiggin' Ground. Check the song on the page. It's not even close to Scammel's famous work.

George, I have no access to books like that. I live on an island where a new library just started last fall. If it's not on the WWW, I have to count on others for input. Thanks, Malcolm for your excellent research. :-)

KatLaughing & Jon, I fired a missive off to Kelly Russell early this morning, but still await a reply. So far, Kelly seems to be the only hope.

Thanks, all, for your gargantuan effort. If it were easy, I wouldn't have brought it here where the Forum folk are the best. I'll definitely post back if or when we find a solution. :-)
