Whalen's Breakdown is a different tune! Ruby & Lee do a great job of Logger's Breakdown which I have only heard played well by the late Lee Cremo. Whalen's Breakdown is done very well by the late Graham Townsend! An Gordon Stobbe does a nice job of the tunes too! I had the pleasure to play the accordion along with Gordon Stobbe while he was doing a fundraiser while he was playing his fiddle.

You've solved my problem ! Gordon Stobbes site listed the tune I'm looking for as "WHALEN BREAKDOWN" - I'm trying it on the mandolin. Give it a go yourself. I find the tune relies less on ornamentation then Loggers, and is easier to play on the mandolin - more tunful. Thanks Brian

Have you got the published music? Would solve my problem on Loggers vs Whalers Breakdown
Could this be the WHALERS BREAKDOWN? Both tunes were on Don Messers 78 recording, but I can't remember which is which. I like the other tune better. But boy, did he play them fast - too fast for dancing I guess. We lived in Vancouver in the 40s/50s and the loggers would have danced to it - also the fisherman and whalers. My dad worked on the boats for the Western Whaling Corporation and the BC Packers. Thanks for bringing the tune back to life !!
