    Hello,
    I am in the middle of reading “Two Years before the Mast” and I was inspired to write two songs about the hides being dropped from the cliff near the ocean at Dana Point. One is a folk song and one is a folk/pop song. I thought you would like them and use them any way you wish. I am not asking for any money, its a pure donation. Just search YouTube for “here come the hides” and the two song shorts should come up. Otherwise I am spellbinder77.
    I can send the downloads if needed. Thanks, Ron Dixon
