Here is the link to a Christian Science Monitor newspaper article published
today titled "A whale of a tale from old Albany" about a new musical score,
"The Beverwijck Overture."  It is based on the account by Antony de Hooges,
a Dutch colonial official, of the March 29, 1647, (355 years ago
tomorrow)sighting of a snow-white whale which swam up the Hudson near what's
now Albany, N.Y. http://www.csmonitor.com/2002/0328/p11s03-algn.html

Jim...anybody...know more about this?  I had never heard of it; and it
sounds fascinating.
