Subject: RE: Death in Yarmouth (UK commercial fishing)
There is a tune. It is one of my own, which means it rarely passes beyond the range of two notes, one of which is flat. The tune is published in Ron Angel's book Sitting in the Sun. WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU HAVEN'T GOT A COPY? I seem to recall this was achieved by Ron transcribing it while I hummed it down the phone.

I shall not sue anyone who makes up a better one or finds a trad one that fits it. Failing that if anyone one is so desperate for the original that they are prepared to post me their email address I'll make a perfunctory and probably unsuccessful attempt to send them a WAV file.

Darowyn - I don't necessarily empathise fully with fisherfolk either, given that I am a vegetarian.
