[78-L] Oysters Anyone?

[Taylor Bowie]

Hi Mike,

The Carroll poem is The Walrus and the Carpenter...if put to music,  it 
would make a good oyster song.

Cockles and Mussels is a good one.

I don't know the lyrics to the "Clambake" song but I'm betting it's not 
about a seafood feast and the beach!

Taylor
