Humpbacks-To The Last Whale-CSN

Humpbacks-To The Last Whale-CSN
Years ago when I was a student working at the Louisville Science Center I had the privilege of working on the Humpback whale skeleton in the Musem's possession. At that time I did a video set to the CSN song "Wind On The Water/To The Last Whale". It was done on VHS and was about as grim as a video can be. But I always wanted to make a video set to that music that let the whales literally speak for themselves in their natural environment. I found a video of humpback whales (my favorites, obviously) last night that was what I've been looking for, and set it to the song. Here it is for your enjoyment:

Note: I make no claim to the copyrights to either the song or the video.



'The difference between a Miracle and a Fact is exactly the difference between a mermaid and seal. It could not be expressed better.'

"I think that in the discussion of natural problems we ought to begin not with the scriptures, but with experiments, demonstrations, and observations".

- Galileo Galilei (1564-1642)

"In short, Meyer has shown that his first disastrous book was not a fluke: he is capable of going into any field in which he has no training or research experience and botching it just as badly as he did molecular biology. As I've written before, if you are a complete amateur and don't understand a subject, don't demonstrate the Dunning-Kruger effect by writing a book about it and proving your ignorance to everyone else!

Wasn't this the plot of Star Trek IV?

Indeed it was, though it didn't include me preparing 2,500 pounds of skeletal remains for months on end.
