Subject: Tune Add: Kendall's Reel
The other day I received a package in the mail from Jim Stewart in Rothsay New Brunswick. It is a cd Titled "Kendall's Reel" and along with it the sheet music. I wish I knew how to enter it so all could see it.

This man has written some very beautiful music, including the story of the MARCO POLO, a 19th century clipper ship reputed to be the fastest in the world.

.. we built this old ship with our sweat and endeavor, she ran with the wind and the wind set her free...

and

They say that a new day soon will beset us
Their engines and boilers will soon rule the day
And the time will arrive that time will forget us
Like the sawdust around us we'll all blow away...

I'm honored beyond words.
