Hi all, here we go again! I just can't seem to get my post up,so If the other posts appear suddenly, I'm sorry for the repetition...I forgot to 'copy" them...ha ha...so here goes...
What a nice surprise to find this site...thank you for remembering our song The Whale....Info: Terry has been living in Geelong Vic for many years now and I have been at Lake Macquarie, NSW for over 20 years. We are both retired from our "day jobs". we still get together regularly ..have a bash, write some songs and down a few ales :-) We won the Bandstand Songwriters Awards (C&W section )with a song called Big White Horse back in 1971(!)It was Brian Henderson's last show as its compere..sent out live.. Yes, The Whale is based on Moby Dick ,one of our favourite yarns..We did the album in 1995, our first! We had fun...no pressure. If anyone is interest, i can supply a copy of the album, which contains the original versions of The Whale'72,the Ghost '73, Big White Horse '71..The A & B sides, remember when they used to be called that? ha ha...Plus a copy of the original sheet music ,complete with "typo " error.."A gentle breeze it RUSHED them."! Also it can be personally autographed...please email me for costs (shipping and expenses...quite reasonable...:-)
thank you all again for "remembering....
Fred

P.S. Bob...the chords are a little out ..:-)
