For we've slaved away four years of our life and earned about three pound ten

I have a sore throat and a steadily climbing fever and just discovered I missed a documentary on whaling tonight. It had better re-air. Preferably at some point when I can focus on the screen. Today: not success. Tell me something historically weird.

Here's praying you rise above the weather again soon.

Jethro Tull did a thoughtful and achingly lovely song about whaling back in 1989, "The Whaler's Dues" (sound quality of the video is only mid-fi, but the posting includes the lyrics). No whale song recordings were used in the song, but the band mimics them beautifully with traditional instruments.

Thank you!
