Tallahassee Seaside Blues
"Tallahassee Seaside Blues" is a song about sea levels and coastal property values.
History
The song was detected and partially decrypted on the morning of Friday, 5 February 2021, by software impresario and APTO consulting fabulist Karl Jones.
Jones credits the discovery to "ideas that sprang to [his] mind" while pondering the assertion: ""Let’s say, totally hypothetically, that you wanted to live near the beach with your family for part of the year. Could swim in the ocean every day level close."
Long term, say 50 years?*
I'm betting on Tallahassee.
—Karl Gregory Jones
* Long for me, anyway; I'll be dead.
[Karl Gregory Jones]
Commentary
In the tradition of "Snorkeling Downtown Miami Blues" and "The New Orleans French Quarter Three Leagues Under Blues".
