Sultans of String - Luna (whale song)
Many many years ago, we took a drive to the beach at Point Roberts, Washington. Point Roberts is US territory, but you have to go through Canada to get there. I think it's because the land dips below the 49th parallel. It was a beautiful, sunny day at the beach. Just off-shore there was a pod of Orca whales. The park ranger had placed a waterproof microphone into the water so that we could hear the whales calling to one another. We were the only family on the beach that day, so the ranger spent the afternoon letting the children listen to the whales and telling them all about Orcas. Here we were, a poor young family, too broke to go to an aquarium, and yet we were given the opportunity that most never have...a chance to listen to a whale pod and to see them breaching just out from the shoreline! This music brings back fond memories of that enchanting day. If you've never heard the Sultans of String, you're in for a treat!
that was fantastic! What a special day that was for you...
