The Falmouth Fish

Sea Shanties, folk songs and grog swilling from Cornwall's most disorderly shanty singers.

@ElenCaldecott The Dispossessed has a beautiful passage about the mathematical beauty and perfection of music.

We sing about Right Whales a lot. That's cos they were the 'right' whales to hunt. As a result there are about 30 North Pacific Right Whales left in the wild, and they are singing back. Can't imagine they have anything nice to say to us. https://t.co/B9yrAsixWS
