Barry-

Can I use your glorious ramble for a press advisory? They might be provoked enough to ask for an interview just to decode what on earth this CD was about.

Well, even I'm not sure. I'm really at the mercy of this crowd of nautical ghost poets. They keep rattling my windows, wailing that here's another poem that needs a tune. What's a fella supposed to do?

I should forward "Neptune's Daughter" to Peggy Seeger; when Bob Watson first sent me his recording of this song I could hear Seeger singing it, along with her banjo.

Unfortunately I've lost track of Joe McGrath. He was a Texas Air pilot when I knew him in the 1980's, after retiring from the Coastguard. He was also part of the Club 47 crowd in Cambridge back in the 1960's. There are too many "Joe McGraths" for a successful Goggle search. But "Salvagers" is a great song, and Roll & Go plans to record it with a full frontal assault. It's ironic that the "Salvagers" is about wreckers while my traditional song from Key West titled "Wreckers" is about salvagers.

Whatever are you doing posting to Mudcat at 3 am? Are you touring the West Coast?

Cheerily,
Charley Noble
