Thread Name: Songs About Dogs
Subject: RE: Songs About Dogs
G'day Charley Noble,
Back a day (or two ... by our local date!) you included in your (dubious) nautical sea song:
"The Dogger Bank" (Nothing to do with dogs)".
For what it's worth, the Dogger Bank is a spot (~) between England and Holland fished from a "dogger" - ": a two-masted bluff-bowed Dutch fishing boat, Middle English from Middle Dutch (Australian Concise Oxford Dictionary).
(But, of course, you knew that!)
Regard(les)s,
Bob
