Why Yes I Do Live Around Here

Some time back my Uncle James and his life-long friend Ian regaled us with the tale of the time they came upon a Mermaid... Laugh as we might at the outlandish tale, they never faltered nor added an embellishment to their story. And even when each was taken aside from the other, neither man ever lessened his enthusiasm nor even hinted at any chicanery in the telling. Since both men had been sailors (Officers Actually) for Her Majesty and served Her in the Caribbean as "Spooks" for many years this story had always been a particular favorite of mine. Again that madcap duo has inspired another of my pictures taken from one of my fondest memories - The piece has several variations on its title - "Why Yes Sailor, I Do Live Around Here" "Why Yes Sir James, I Do Live Around Here - Don't You Remember?" and "Ian! You Never Call Me Anymore" :0)
