How very interesting!

I came to North America twice as an immigrant. The second time as a boy of 16 on board the Queen Elizabeth ALONE, i.e. without my parents, a la Leonardo DiCapria. But the first time, I was a small boy who came with the family on the Aquitania from Southampton to Halifax. The Aquitania was a Cunard Line sister ship to the Mauretania, just to pull that into perspective. I've always wondered whether there was any musical carry over from sail to steam.

Thanks.

All the best,
Dan Milner
