Here's the latest version of my new song "Never Turn a Blind Eye to the Storm" about the Bounty's sinking, with guitar backup and harmonies: click here for lyrics and MP3 Sample!

Jeff Logan is providing guitar back-up and high harmony; I'm also providing a low harmony.

I've sung nautical songs for years and after the sinking of the Bounty last October I spent a lot of time thinking about what I wanted to say. I watched the video from the 8 days of the Coast Guard Inquiry and read the summaries of the testimony from the surviving crew members, the Boothbay Shipyard workers, and other tall-ship captains. So what we have is a song about lessons to be learned, and hopefully lessons that will not be forgotten by those who sail these beautiful but vulnerable ships. I'd be interested in any comments you might have about this song.
