It always fun when you find a nautical poem that focuses on a familiar experience that apparently no one else has covered. Burt Franklin Jenness seems to have had a talent for doing that. I do have to give credit to Bob Zentz for his rediscoverly of this old sailor-poet with his adaptation of the poem "Sea Dog" which is discussed elsewhere in these threads.
I'm still hoping to record a rough version of this song this weekend and post a sample onto my website.
