"Wild Salmon Don't Get the Blues" - CD from Captian Mike 

June 2005

At the height of Salmon season, during a year that would have provided record catches, the California Salmon fleet is not allowed to fish. Decisions made by the federal government didn't allow enough water to run down the Klamath river, pushing the Klamath Salmon populations to the brink of extinction. In order to protect the remaining few Klamath Salmon, our fleet stays ties up to the docks for one whole month.

The fishing towns of Ft. Bragg and Eureka will not see any Salmon revenues this year and probably not next year either. Our whole coastal community is hurting. The hoists that usually life millions of pounds of King Salmon off our boats will not be used, fuel docks won't sell any fuel or ice to the fishermen, supply businesses will not sell any supplies, campgrounds stay empty, jobs are lost. The fishing organizations who fight to keep water in our rivers are experiencing a shortage of necessary funds that usually are raised by a self-taxation of our fishermen. So since I was just sitting and moping around the house, I thought I could record some music - a little blues to ease the pain and help out.

Thanks for buying this record, enjoy the music!
-yours truly, Captain Mike
