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. Linda Crannell (aka=The Poorhouse Lady)
