Here are some more remarks from Gordon Bok that I cherish for the traditional wreckers song that a friend of John Audubon collected near Key West and which I fitted to a traditional style tune and did some lyrical surgery:

"Tis 'The Wreckers' Song' I'm most impressed with. Good thinking to set it to that tune (only sounds vaguely familiar to me, which I take to be an excellent fit). I also like the way you have brought it into our parlance ? where the poet was getting a bit tone-y, you hauled it back into useful language, and cleaned up some little bits of poetic wandering that weren't helping it slide into this century's language. All in all a very nice job of setting in and tightening up."

I'm not sure how far I should go in promoting this thread. I'd much rather hear what people have to post about this CD who haven't been in direct communications with me.

Cheerily,
Charley Noble
