    Whales can tell the difference, but they're flattered nonetheless.

    Very very cool. I love stuff like this. It's a refreshing change from politics on occasion.

    We were always told that we should not attribute human characteristics to animals....but over the years my own observations tell me otherwise. And quite honestly I have more faith in animals than I do people.

    Is the whale a member of the Musicians' Union?

    Wonderful piece! That BBC presenter is tone-deaf. It's easy to distinguish which tone is the whale and which is the clarinet. The whale loved the first riff Rothenberg played and was mimicking it to the exclusion of any subsequent notes from the surface. Someone should play them the opening clarinet passage from "Rhapsody In Blue" and see what they do with it. Thanks for posting this!
