In episode 12, I talked about Virginia McCormick's impact on the Huntsville community for the first three decades of the 1900s, but what I didn't get to discuss as much was her music.  Listening to, playing, and apparently writing music were hobbies of hers, as well as a part of her mental health treatment.  In this barely-an-episode-and-mostly-just-a-song, I'm sharing a sea shanty written by Virginia herself, as well as something I just learned about fish.  Tune in for a few minutes and enjoy the sweet, sweet jam that is "I'm Only a Bold Sailor Lad".
