Post for Wednesday, May 12, 2010. Some years ago I read a snippet about Captain Pamphlet bringing his rumrunning ship into US waters to rescue a shipwrecked crew and getting busted. I wrote part of a song, mostly a chorus that began “Let ‘em drown, let the Yankees drown, let ‘em feed the fish, let ‘em pass a law that men can breathe salt water if they wish . . . I could never find out any more about it and I let the song wither. Finally, one of my sporadic checks found that newspaper images had ben OCR’d enough for a web search to find them, and I got three articles. So now I get back to work on the song.
