Music * Under the credits is Harlaamstrat 74 off of John Dankworth's Modesty Blaise score. * First up is one of my very favorite recordings of all time: Andromeda from Chris McGregor's Brotherhood of Breath. One of the finest bands ever assembled. * The sailors get grumpy to Sito from Pierre Favre and the European Chamber Ensemble. (The end drum loop comes from that piece too). * The guys run off to save the day to Edgar Meyer and Mark O'Connor doing the Green Groves of Erin. * That turns into, In Threes by Loscil. Notes * Some of the details in here originate from a fine piece that appeared in the Saturday Evening Post in May of 1944. You can read it here. * Other solid write ups: From The Book of New York The U.S.C.G. The Fire-fighter's Museum
