At a folk festival in Rhode Island today, I heard a singer singing a song about fishing. It mentioned Kodiak. I have no idea what the title is or if the singer, a local man, wrote the song or covered it. At one point I heard him sing something that sounded like, "No more salmon next to me." I thought, "Huh?" The woman sitting next to me, another local singer, turned to me with a quizzical look and said, "No more salmon next to me?" in a way that implied it sounded strange to her, too. I was picturing someone on a boat with a bucket, barrel, or bin of salmon next to him. I mulled it over briefly, turned to my neighbor, and said, "No more salmon nets to mend." "Oh," she said. I hope I was right about that line. If anyone knows the song, let me know!
