Scroll down to "Sing a sang at least."<br /><br />I can't find a satisfactory version of "Threescore and Ten" on Youtube. Maybe I should do one myself, and lay off the griping. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t2bscxE1fY0" rel="nofollow">This one</a> seems to be as good as they get, but you can fast-forward through the first minute or so of the harmonica solo.Hector Owenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09464231766299961050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6130126685334700207.post-76553981427051923672010-04-19T21:28:47.782-07:002010-04-19T21:28:47.782-07:00Sure now that they are two different ships of the ...Sure now that they are two different ships of the same name.

Fritz was old enough to remember the big storm of 1905 that sank 30 or so wrecks in one night. <br />By the time I was old enough to go along Fritz was well into his 80s or 90s and was essentially housebound. Still, the sense of elapsed time and life spans is shortened.chickelithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10773887469972534979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6130126685334700207.post-54646640156026665152010-04-19T21:12:36.609-07:002010-04-19T21:12:36.609-07:00Hold on -- might be two different ships of the sam...Hold on -- might be two different ships of the same name.Hector Owenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09464231766299961050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6130126685334700207.post-51341161581457521002010-04-19T20:28:26.072-07:002010-04-19T20:28:26.072-07:00There is a song about Hesper.
