Album AU 1964 on Columbia label
World
Songs of the Sea was his first album not devoted exclusively to Australian songs, and only one related to the colonial past. It was a project close to his heart -- like his friend Gary Shearston, Lionel was a keen sailor and owned several boats. The liner notes recount Lionel Long’s memories of deep sea fishing with an old man in the snapper grounds off Port Macquarie, New South Wales, his own attempt as a ten year old to sail in a rubber dinghy 80 miles from Sydney to Newcastle, the boats which he owned up to a 27 foot Thunderbird class yacht and those members of his family who had some connection with the sea, including one who was the first Australian naval man to set foot in Alaska. Many of Lionel's contemporaries have fond memories of days spent sailing with him.
