G'day Lamarca,

I'm glad you enjoyed Harry's whaling songs ... it is indeed a real part of our history, whatever we have done since to be more humane (or, in the case of the Japanese scientific experiment to determine just how many whales they can kill and eat, in the name of strict and disinterested science ... not done).

As I have probably mentioned elsewhere in this forum, during the 1940s, my mother's sister married a Danish Whaler. He worked as a stockman (roughly, in US terms, a 'cowboy') in the Australian country ... but chucked it all in, every few years, to sign on for a season's whaling in the southern ocean ... then was back on a horse in the Australian 'Overflow' area for a few more years!

I love Harry's songs and will see what eles we can offer.

Regards,

Bob Bolton
