"kelp hands hold the helm
coral city cabins
wine bottle spins slowly
a note for the future to find
did they raise a parting glass
to boyhood`s grand design
never lower the banner never resigned"
We just kept reading the lyric over and over. "Kelp hands hold the helm" is stunningly rich imagery.
We love history and we love what you do with it in songs.
Take that creative write, add the perfect vocal for it and the wonderful guitar and you have one of the top collabs posted here.
You two are quite the team. Y'all keep pushing that bar on up.
Kudos!

J&B,
I live near beaches with miles of that kelp. Images of the wreck are probably where that line came from, though.
My historical songs are usually slim on narrative ( still remember how dull I found the list-of-events essays I wrote as a history major!)... there has to be some emotion in the telling.
I`m happy you enjoyed our time travel music.Thank you for all those generous comments.
Robert
