Thanks for the assist when I use my wing paddle. I like BP for its lusty thrust, but the Jeannie C really touches some of the soulful aspects of paddling. Another Stan Rogers tune that fits the loss associated with seafaring is his "The Lockkeeper," which I have never heard sung by Rogers. However, John Gorka has a very soulful version out now (scroll down for a shot): http://www.redhouserecords.com/194.html It is the tune to die for in Gorka's newest release, at least for me. -- Dave Kruger Astoria, OR *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
