Gory Bateson's Original "Uncle Gregory"

Gory Bateson sings his original tribute to his Uncle Gregory. He wrote the song when he was a lonely 13-year-old boy to thank his uncle for sending him postcards and musical instruments from around the world.

Gregory Bateson? The anthropolgist, biologist, etc.?

Yes, he was my mythic uncle. GB

One of the things that I loved about Gregory was his ability to toss out a phrase or a quip that changed the way you thought about a subject.

I can imagine Gregory turning this into a conversation about the evolutionary advantages of having childless couples in a population because it's *not* the number of children that count towards the survival of a species, it's the number of grandchildren.

In other words: Uncles count.
